Striking Mexican miners block traffic to bring attention to their dispute
BISBEE — Hundreds of striking workers at the Cananea copper mine in Sonora, Mexico, blocked the federal highway between Cananea and Agua Prieta for two consecutive days this week to demand that the authorities resolve the 32-month-old mine strike.
The roadway was closed for about seven hours on Tuesday and for about 12 hours on Wednesday, according to Martin Camargo, director general of Proyeccion, a weekly news magazine in Cananea. The strikers did not repeat their actions on Thursday.
