Abstract

This article highlights the history of the National Union of Miners, which was born in Pachuca, Hidalgo in 1934. Similarly, some antecedents of the Mining Union are mentioned, such as the first strike in Latin America in 1766 and the strike in Cananea (Sonora) in 1906, both caused mainly by the bad and dangerous conditions faced by workers in the mines, as well as the long working hours and low wages. Also mentioned are the abuses in the 21st century against the mining sector, the unjustified persecution of its leaders and the lack of justice they received during the two six-year presidential term of the PAN.
