On August 14, workers at the Delta Staff Manufacturing garment factory in Nazareno, Mexico voted overwhelmingly in favour of a collective bargaining agreement negotiated by their independent union, the Mexican Worker’s League (La Liga). 548 workers voted to ratify the agreement and only 93 voted against it. The agreement will reportedly provide benefits worth a total of $2.5 million pesos (US$134,000). The factory produces for Gap, Levi’s, Carhartt and Target.
