MEXICO CITY, April 28 (NNN-XINHUA) — At least eight people were killed and 11 others injured in a clash between two opposing groups of workers at a cement plant in the Mexican state of Hidalgo, governor Omar Fayad said.
“This morning, attacks and disturbances between two groups of people at an entrance to the plant were reported to 911 emergency services,” Fayad tweeted, adding that nine workers were detained as a result of the clash.
The confrontation is believed to be linked to a long-standing dispute among workers over the control of the plant’s administration, local media reported.
The authorities will try to promote dialogue between the groups “to avoid the repetition of such unfortunate events,” Fayad said.
