Troy, Michigan USA, 26 September 2023, Protesters visit the headquarters of VU Manufacturing, demanding that the company honor labor rights at its plant in Mexico. After workers formed an independent labor union, the company closed its Piedras Negras facility. The plant's 400 workers are reportedly on an unofficial blacklist, unable to find other work in the city. A VU representative shouted at protesters to leave after they asked to speak with a company official
