When the c****av***s p******c reached the Mexican border city of Mexicali, operations at first continued as normal at the US-owned factory where Sergio Ayala has worked for the past three years.
Eventually, workers went on strike at the Autolite plant, which makes spark plugs for export, in protest at the management’s alleged failure to introduce sanitary measures. The state labor secretary then shut it down.

A few days after the stoppage, Ayala got a text message inviting him back to work, on condition he did not drive there: the factory parking lot had to stay empty. “They offered us a bonus of 250 pesos and a vacation day,” he said.
Ayala decided it wasn’t worth the risk but dozens of workers accepted the terms – and the factory kept operating.
Last week, the Autolite factory – and several dozen other maquilas in Baja California state – officially reopened. But Ayala says that when he returned, he and several dozen other workers who had joined the April strike were fired.

Mexico’s border states are home to more than 6,000 maquiladoras – largely foreign-owned factories that manufacture products for export – and the plants, which employ hundreds of thousands of people, have been the focus of several c****av***s outbreaks.
But official efforts to keep the factories shut and contain the spread of C****-** have come under intense pressure from companies – and US government officials – who have urged the Mexican government to
keep maquiladoras running at any cost.

Are you paying attention now ?
Those jobs are not ever coming back.
We cannot afford to manufacture things like spark plugs in this country.
