ArcelorMittal Mexico takes another hit as port workers go on strike

ArcelorMittal Mexico is facing another blow to its operational stability as dockworkers at the mill’s port in Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacan, went on strike on Wednesday, Nov. 19.

The local Regional Confederation of Mexican Workers (CROM) union took to the picket lines after failing to reach a new two-year labor contract with the steelmaker. Negotiations had been ongoing since last month, according to a Noventa Grados report.
