Women Workers at Lexmark's Juárez Maquila Fight for an Independent Union, Fair Wages, & Their Jobs
In Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, women workers at the plant of the U.S. company Lexmark are fighting for an independent union, fair wages, and their jobs - the company fired them after they began organizing.  Since December they've been in occupation out front of the factory.  Listen to their story in the words of worker Victoria Moreno.
