A questioner stated that her husbands plant closed, was moved to Juarez Chihuahua, Mexico, a family member told her that the workers at the new plant, made
$30 per day plus had benefits of clothes, shoes, medical and child care services.
That any family member could go into the plant to work that job.
No sources other than what the family member told her!!
As of 01-01-2006
The minimum wage in Mexico was $4.56 / day
In Juarez "Maguiladora's" wages were $1.25 per hour, $10.00 per day, $50.00 per week
(40 hr week) no O.T. !
American Plants (Maguiladora's)
the employees buy their own work uniforms, no free child care , free shoes.
That is what the minimum wage is in Mexico, Mexican Unions are pressing the plants to increase wages and benefits. American plants are threatening to pull out their plants and move to China because of the increased demands for Mexican Wages.
You still think they are going to raise wages so Americans will do the work. do not hold your breath
