Violence flared in a labor dispute at a Guerrero mine, leaving two striking workers dead. Armed civilians calling themselves the Tonalapa community police killed the workers, who are among about 800 employees of the Canadian-owned El Limón-Guajes mine who have been on strike. The workers are affiliated with the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM) as a result of a deal with the mine’s owner, Torex Gold Resources. They are demanding the right to join the National Union of Mine, Metal, Steel and Allied Workers, known as Los Mineros. Their demands also include improved working conditions and an annual bonus. The strike and murders have drawn international attention, particularly from the United Steelworkers (USW), which said the killings underscore the repression of labor rights.
