Acabo de ver esto en una clase. En las palabras de Chomsky, la unica verdad en North american trade agreement, es la parte que dice "norteamerica." Americanos incautos....

thanks for the video, tengo ese documental de las maquiladoras y es es una cosa muy valiosa y bien hecha. lo pueden bajar de la pagina de nodo 50.

es un asco ver como por ser mujer piensen que eres menos. antes se decia que solo los hombres podian desempeñar trabajos dificiles, por ejemplo policia, bombero, pilotos, etc. Que bien se siente que mujeres como las que aparecen en el video hayan por fin demostrado la injusticia que se vive en las fabricas, se juegan su salud por unos cuantos billetes que ni para comer les ayuda. buen documental...

It's funny that these women want a better life, safer workplace, higher wages, and cleaner environment.

I hope they remember that American workers wanted the same thing and within a few short decades of getting it, the factory owners picked up and left them behind and opened up the factories in Mexico.

What will the companies do when Mexican workers ask too much? Will they happily comply? Or will they abandon the Mexicans too in search of cheaper labor and lesser restrictions?

It's funny? I guess it was funny when Americans wanted it too huh?

Vote with your dollar.

[dostoyevskyfan]

Kelim- read what I wrote carefully. Yes, it is funny- irony can be funny, ya know?

The irony is that instead of getting better working conditions, the companies will ultimately do what they did to Americans... ABANDON THEM FOR CHEAPER LABOR AND LESS COMPLAINTS!! Just like they did to Americans.

There is irony in that... I find it amusing and yes, FUNNY!

[kelim92]

Cheaper labor where? The whole world is already cheap labor save for a few rich nations.

[wereallcelebsnow]

so whats your point, dick? people should just stfu and be happy with subhuman working conditions to appease the all-mighty, all-powerful corporations? profit over people huh? how about fuck you and fuck the corporations. workers have had to fight for their rights throughout the history of industry. whether they were 'american', chinese or mexican. oh and black too. i say vote with a bullet, not the dollar. in the meantime, i gladly welcome a new stone age.

[wereallcelebsnow]

so when these companies, whos ceo is an ancestor of those criminals, pack up and leave to mexico for cheaper wages and you lose your job to some mexican who's more qualified and works harder, i call it chickens coming home to roost, bitch.

Hace poco estuve en la 5ta conferencia anual de promotoras y tuve la oportunidad de ver este video, fue tan emocionante ver como este grupo de mujeres lograron alzar sus voces en contra de la injusticia que estaban viviendo en su comunidad y demostrar que si se puede. Las admiro mucho!

Gracias por compartir este video. Invito a ver qué está pasando con los trabajadores de Hitachi, en Guadalajara, México. Escribe Hitachi Workers. Write Hitachi workers to watch what's going on with Hitachi maquiladora in Guadalajara. Saludos.
