Abstract

This article proposes how members of a community of workers of Mixtec origin have consolidated a working community that was managed through the formation of bonds of solidarity between family and friends in the place of origin. These labor communities are distributed in several localities in the United States. Mixtec workers offer labor in exchange for wages below the minimum established by law in both Mexico and the United States. The labor offered by the Mixtecs that I mentioned already support, through their work, some of the most important urban centers in the United States, an example of which is Portland and New York.
