American Maquiladoras Offer Bonuses to Workers to Remain on the Job During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Mexican labor lawyer Susana Prieto Terrazas took to social media last week to inform maquiladora workers in Cd. Juárez to stay home and not take the bonuses being offered to them to continue working. Her pleas to workers document how many Maquiladoras are enticing workers to remain on the job and keep the plants open. Workers at these companies have been deemed as “essential,” although they are largely producing computers and other electronic parts.
