February 1, 2021 One of the most important union militants in Central American history, Alejandro Molina Lara, died in Los Angeles, California on December 17, 2020. Born in El Carmen, La Unión, El Salvador, on May 20, 1944, Molina Lara quickly rose to prominence in the Salvadoran labor movement while working at a shrimp packing facility in Usulután. He leaves a legacy of militant labor organizing in El Salvador and the United States. The Salvadoran labor movement was part of a Latin American upsurge in organizing during the 1970s. In El Salvador and beyond, strike movements had to contend with military regimes. In El Salvador, the labor movement developed over two decades under such a regime. By the late 1970s, the unions pushed the regime in a highly repressive direction that, in turn, propelled an expansion of the movement.
