Canacero urges end to strike at ArcelorMittal Mexico

Canacero has weighed in on the workers’ protest at ArcelorMittal Mexico’s Lazaro Cardenas mill, urging a quick resolution to the dispute.

Since May 24, Sindicato Minero union members have been protesting profit-sharing payments, blocking the entrances to the company’s mill and mine. ArcelorMittal has said the strike is illegal as it began before the union served the company a sanctioned strike warning. Official notice of a strike coming on June 11 came after workers had already begun demonstrating.
