Excerpts from http://cupe.ca/updir/CODEMUH-statement-forced-marches.pdf

Workers are being forced to participate in so-called “Marches for Peace” [pro-coup demonstrations].

We also want to clarify that male and female maquila workers who have been forced to participate in the “Marches for Peace” have not received a penny for their participation. In fact, there are companies that are forcing workers to make up the day on the Saturday after the march, and promising to pay them overtime on that day. That overtime pay never appears – so not only are these workers obliged to participate in marches for the bourgeoisie, but they have to work an extra day.

IIRC, there is also a a union controlled by a private people forced to march that reach around the number 50,000 protest. So sick.
