At around 11 PM the night of Oct. 10, Mexican soldiers and federal police agents occupied facilities of the government-owned Central Light and
Power Company (LFC) in Mexico City and several central Mexican states, reportedly using force to remove workers on the night shift. About an hour
later Mexican president Felipe Calderón Hinojosa's center-right administration published a decree liquidating the company and terminating some
41,000 active employees. The decree promised respect for the workers' labor rights: the government said it would guarantee severance pay and
pensions, at an estimated cost of some $20 billion pesos ($1.512 billion).
According to the government, expenses per unit of power were at least 176% higher than for the Federal Electrical Commission (CFE), the other
government-owned company....Union shop verses none-union...
Of course this story goes beyond just a labor dispute... they are taking over all critical services in preparation for the collapse of the US
markets... one that would drag their country along the same path
