Mexico: Farm Workers Achieve Major Gains in San Quintin Protests

Mexican authorities have agreed to 12 out of 14 demands of farm workers in San Quintin, Baja Califonia. After several months of protests, the gains include ensuring access to Social Security, combating child labor, establishing stronger security measures, building housing for workers and ensuring workers’ rights according to law. The two sides have yet to agree on wage increases, one of the reasons the farm workers initially began their protests. teleSUR
