Mexico: Advocates Push Sheinbaum to Restore Bracero Wages

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11
PROGRAM #10545 12:00 PM PT

Mexico Edition. 

After promising former braceros and their heirs that he would return wages that were withheld while they worked in the US in the 1940s and 1950s, Mexico’s former president López Obrador eliminated the trust fund that was created in 2005 after years of struggle by the braceros. Advocates now want the incoming Sheinbaum administration to address the issue and restore the trust that was created for their payment. This and other topics are discussed in this edition.

Guest: Alma Delia Fraile Barocio, Leading Organizer, Alianza Braceroproa, Mexicali, MX.
