This was the 12th day of the workers' struggle to get a pay increase to offset the recent rises in inflation and to have labour laws enforced that are part of the Indian constitution.

By Jorge Martín | | | | ESPAÑOL | | By Carlos Márquez El 7 de octubre debe salir en libertad condicional René González después de estar preso durante 13 años en las cárceles estadounidenses.
