Thus Sunday May 1st, it’s Labor Day in most countries, excepting the U.S., Canada and some others. It is an official holiday and those employees that are told to work must receive triple salary plus, being a Sunday, a 25% Sunday bonus. With a salary of about $8.60 for an eight hour shift, it’s easy for Gringo employees to pay it. There will be a parade of workers carrying signs demanding better pay and benefits in every city of Mexico.
