In April 2025, workers at the Volkswagen plant in Puebla backed a wage demand of between 10 and 22 percent, according to Cluster Industrial. Their union’s formal list of demands then asked for 14 percent.
In August 2025, Expansión reported the result. The increase would be “del 4% directo al salario” (4 percent directly on wages), and the plant avoided a strike. (Video in Spanish.)
