Maquiladoras in Mexico

Export Assembly Plants for the United States


Maquiladoras are owned by U.S., Japanese, and European countries and some could be considered "sweatshops" composed of young women working for as little as 50 cents an hour, for up to ten hours a day, six days a week. However, in recent years, NAFTA has started to pay off somewhat - some maquiladoras are improving conditions for their workers, along with wages.

We demand wages in the maquiladoras that respect the Mexican Constitution

that's a strange statment, given that maquiladora wages are higher, by law, than those at similar plants that are Mexican-owned and operated.
