Las mujeres han tenido un lugar de mucha relevancia en la lucha por los derechos laborales
(Women had a very important place in the fight for labor rights):
"No obstante su número significativamente menor, estas obreras decidieron comenzar una huelga que duró 3 semanas y a través de la cual exigieron sobre todo igualdad salarial, pues sus salarios eran 92% menores a los de los trabajadores varones."
The last part would be literally translated as "their salaries are 92% less than those of the male workers". That sounds ridiculously low. According to Ford sewing machinists strike of 1968, "the strike ended three weeks after it began, as a result of a deal that immediately increased their rate of pay to 8% below that of men". Apparently "92% menores a" in the PijamaSurf article really means "8% menores a".
