The Struggle for Labor Rights on Mexican Maquiladoras María Eugenia de la O Introduction The 1960s, hundreds of foreign assembly factories were established along the Mexico-United States border cities as a result of increasing labor force costs in industrialized nations, and also as an economic strategy of the Mexican government who provided tax incentives, infrastructure and low wages to the new investors. Decades after, in the 1990s, Mexico, Canada and United States signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), consequently thousands of factories -call maquiladoras- be transformed into an important source of foreign investment and jobs to Mexico. Currently there are thousands of maquiladoras in the nation; according to recent

Chicanos have been discriminated and oppressed by the anglo society since the beginning of times . According to the article Mexican Americans “Disfavor on the part of some Anglo Americans with Mexicans was evident before 1848, but it intensified thereafter”(Englekirk and Marín, 2014). Anglos dislike Mexicans before the Treaty of Guadalupe was made, and even after they became part of the American society. The Treaty of Guadalupe encourage Chicanos to make a change and oppose the way they were mistreated by the anglo society, which later helped initiate the Chicanos civil rights movement. Some of the struggles and results of the Chicano movement are seen on the book “Drink Cultura” by Jose Burciaga.
Maquiladora provides job for more than 3000 people in Mexico. We would think that it is good for people in Mexico, but it is not. Because the government in Mexico is not strict, people who work there are not treated properly. Their wages are low, some workers work overtime for extra money. However, many workers earn salaries that are unable to fulfill the basic need of life.
Maquiladoras are industries run by foreign companies. They’re major contributors to the economy of Mexico. Maquiladoras were first introduced in 1965 to help increase exports and help industrialization along the U.S and Mexico border. President Donald Trump wants to build a wall alongside Mexico’s border. This wall goes against the North American Free Trade Agreement as imports and exports between Mexico and America will be affected due to the strict regulations.
I propose that a significant majority of maquiladora unions maintained a strong relationship with the Mexican State and were nearly to the interests of the capital, therefore unions have been able to defend the worker rights, and explains the presence of independent trade unions and transnational organizations as alternative practices of defense. In the beginning of this chapter, I describe how works the Mexican unionism in order to understand the trade unions in the Mexican maquiladoras as a complex relationship among traditional unions, independent unions, worker coalitions, and transnational solidarity networks. In the next section, I explain the unionism in the northern border region, especially in the states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Chihuahua,
Montejano argued that the mexican were shaped to be a minority group by the development of socially constructed racial difference between them and higher races in the United States, and depreciating them from job security in higher paying jobs, which is tied to Glenn’s argument of that Mexicans did not came to the United states as a Minority group. Montejano argument signifies how the mexican got from being different from one another in their society by social hierarchy to being all considered as minority in the United States despite their old social class. American were separated by hypothetical barriers from mexicans that made them believe that they were the dominate race over Mexican . For example, Mrs. millar, an american

If Mexican culture were a quilt, then the many varied fabric patches that comprise its surface would be meals, the batting would be equal parts family and religion, and the thread used to sew the quilt together would be tradition. The people of Mexico consider mealtimes to be of utmost importance in their culture; however, much like an attractive quilt that lacks proper insulation—pretty, but useless—mealtimes lose much of their meaning without the substance that family and religion provide. Mealtimes in Mexico are a family affair, and immediate families in Mexico are typically multigenerational and tend to be quite large. Unlike most Americans, Mexican meals are almost exclusively had in the home—rather than in restaurants—where they are prepared,
Due to the area’s close ties with Mexico, the border region enjoys an influx of both American and Mexican pop music as well as traditional hits from both countries. An excellent example of this mixing of cultures is the Tejano group Intocable. Garsd points out Intocable is an interesting musical group “inspired by Mexican music, country hits and rock bands like Def Leppard” (Garsd). In terms of cuisine, the same can be said about the border region’s taste on food. Due to the area’s geographic location, the border region enjoys an excellent display of authentic food from both countries as burgers and tacos are truly enjoyed.
