Overview
- An assault around 4:30 a.m. at Tornel’s Tultitlán plant left four striking workers hospitalized after assailants arrived in multiple vehicles and opened fire.
- State prosecutors confirmed two detentions that will be investigated for firearm-related injuries, while police reinforced security outside the facility.
- Workers and local reports said the injured included gunshot victims and those beaten, with one person expected to undergo surgery.
- Roughly 60 attackers were reported at the scene, and union representatives alleged a broader campaign to pressure the presiding labor judge, including hostile banners.
- The strike, which began on February 23 over enforcement of Contrato Ley benefits and hours, now hinges on a Labor Tribunal decision over recount terms and venue that unions argue must ensure safety.
