Three weeks after strikers expelled more than 100 guests — refusing to allow them to take their possessions — at a Mexico City Radisson, the incident made the front page of the newspaper Reforma.
Some details were added. When management refused demands to pay overtime and allow pregnant workers time off with pay to visit obstetricians, the union announced it would strike and set a deadline. On strike day, the union brought in two busloads of toughs to force guests off the property. Guests included citizens of several countries. The American Embassy appealed to local tourism authorities for help the embassy could not legally provide. According to the newspaper report, guests have not been compensated for medical fees, airline charges for changing departure times nor for ruined holidays.
