The Cananea Strike was a significant labor conflict that took place in June 1906 in the mining town of Cananea, located in the northern part of Mexico. Workers, primarily from the Cananea Consolidated Copper Company, protested against poor working conditions, low wages, and the lack of rights for Mexican laborers. The strike was marked by demands for better pay and improved safety measures. The Mexican government intervened, sending troops to suppress the strike, which led to violent clashes. The event highlighted the growing tensions between workers and foreign-owned companies in Mexico, setting the stage for future labor movements and contributing to the broader context of the Mexican Revolution.
