MIR-EM initiates formation of workers' cells
In 1984, the MIR-EM began the formation of workers' cells in unions of drivers, municipal and bank workers in Pucallpa, expanding its social base beyond students.
After consolidating the work of political recruitment with students in the Young Towns of Pucallpa, the MIR-EM (Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria - El Militante) began in 1984 its work of forming workers' cells. This work was developed specifically in the unions of drivers, municipal and bank workers in the city of Pucallpa. This expansion was part of the MIR-EM's strategy to consolidate its social base beyond the students, incorporating the organized labor sector. In the provinces and districts of Ucayali, the MIR-EM already had militant cells made up mainly of teachers.
