Mexico: Military & federal police are kidnapping electricians and forcing them to work.

[Xicano]

This is a followup on a thread I posted yesterday concerning the Mexican President using the military and federal police to bust the Mexican Electrical Workers Union: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6775269

Workers "are being kidnapped" by federal forces in order to force them to "cooperate" with the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) in power stations that have problems providing electricity to customers, denounced the Mexican Electrical Workers Union (SME).

"The federal government's disgrace and desperation has become intolerable, and our patience is wearing thin" because the Federal Police (PF) and the Military go to workers' homes to "detain them and force them to work in order to confront the widespread power outages that the CFE engineers have been completely incapable of resolving," said SME spokesman Fernando Amezcua.

Man alive.I get the feeling that the Mex goverment has no idea how much chaos a pissed off electrician can cause.
I could shut down half my state with a twenty foot peice of chain.
Imagine what more than one po'ed electrician could do.
