Mexico City’s Trolleybus Workers Could Bring the City to a Grinding Halt (opens in new tab)

Rail, trolleybus, and cable car workers could soon hit the brakes on Mexico City’s mass transit system if their demands are not met. Their union, the Tram Workers Alliance of Mexico (Alianza de Tranviarios de México, ATM) is one of Mexico’s oldest democratic unions. The 2,700 workers are fighting for raises, job security language, and more hires and training in order to expand and maintain Mexico City’s electric transport infrastructure. The union has set a strike deadline of March 3.
