In Mexico, workers in the border city of Matamoros say they have reached a deal in 27 out of 48 assembly plants that are participating in a massive strike that saw nearly 30,000 workers walk out on Friday. Workers say their demand for a wage increase of 20 percent in those factories was met. Matamoros, which is located south of Brownsville, Texas, is home to dozens of factories, or “maquiladoras,” owned largely by U.S. and European companies.
