Workers rally outside Mexican embassies

Australian workers will protest outside the Mexican Embassy against the Government using force to break a 3 year strike at Grupo Mexico's Cananea copper mine on June 6.   The Govt sent in a couple thousand heavily armed federal riot police to break the by Los Mineros strike using tear gas.  Police also assaulted the union office and severely injured two striking workers.

The Australian protest is part of worldwide demonstrations being held outside Mexican embassies this week in conjunction with the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and the International Trade Union Confederation congress in Vancouver, Canada
