There are workers with chronic diseases, diagnosed by doctors, who still didn\u2019t receive any wages during the entire quarantine.

Today they went back to work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The capitalist system is the worst enemy of the working class. With this factory re-opening, no one spoke of social distancing. The maquilas garment factories in the free-trade zone have been opening massively as if nothing will happen, as if there were no pandemic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We workers organized in the ICWP will continue to struggle to recruit more workers to the Party to put an end to all these abuses against our class with communist revolution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2014Communist factory organizer<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/icwpredflag.org\/wp\/wordpress\/volume-11-number-11\/\">Front page of this issue<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maquila garment workers lead San Salvador May Day march, 2016 EL SALVADOR, August 30\u2014 \u201cAt last we have a newspaper in our hands again,\u201d said a worker, \u201cand today it is accompanied by masks.\u201d After many months of not receiving the printed Red Flag, the comrades are enthusiastically and gladly taking it.
