The strike of more than 4,000 workers at Audi puts the rise in wages in Mexico in the spotlight. At the center of the conflict is the salary increase for this year: union members demand 15.5% while Audi only offers 6.5%.

This Wednesday the hearing will be held to find out the future of the strike, however, labor experts warn that the course of the first Audi strike in Mexico, since its arrival in 2016, will set a precedent regarding the upcoming salary negotiations.
