The workers of the U.F.C. (an importing company) were not happy with their working conditions, since they were not contracted directly by the company they worked for, so they, desperate with the labor situation, agreed to start a strike, they wanted to review their working conditions because they were paid very little and had very long working hours.
I agree, let's start a strike!
I refuse to continue to be manipulated into working every day, in the day and night.
After that, on November 12, 1928, a large strike broke out among the workers of the United Fruit Company in the banana zone of Ciénaga, Magdalena.
They waited almost a month, until the first days of December.
