Workers Party of Acapulco

[2][3][1][4][5] The party represented worker-peasant movements of a regional scope that sought electoral means to lay the foundations for the construction of popular and democratic local power.

[8][6] Venustiano Carranza's diplomants arrived at the port in mid-1914 and with the emergence of constitutionalism before Huerta's coup , represented an effort to pacify and unite the different revolutionary forces that were scattered throughout the country; and for this purpose, it helped establish contact with the Acapulco labor movements offering guarantees to improve working conditions,[6] a promise that was accepted by Escudero, who was officially named as a representative of constitutionalism in the port; Later, The House of the World Worker of Acapulco (Spanish: La Casa del Obrero Mundial de Acapulco) was created and Escudero was elected as general secretary.

Between the months of July and September 1915, The dockers who were subjected to aberrant working conditions went on strike and appointed a committee for negotiation that had the support and advice from the House of the World Worker of Acapulco.

[11] The Spanish oligarchs controlling the commerce refused to recognize the demands of the dockworkers only managed to prolong and enlarge the strike, paralyzing and disrupting port activity and affecting the life of the commercial houses.

the written press, controlled by the oligarchy and meetings with state and federal authorities in which they all imaged and accused Escudero for staging "anarchy" with prevailing the port and strikers.

[12][6] The Acapulco oligarchy at the time of the revolution, had no problem in negotiating with any political or military leader of any faction according to the circumstances, always in favor of its own interests.

for this reason, the owners of the commercial houses and Oligarchs in the port did not hesitate to join forces with Carrancism to confront the peasant movements rising up in Guerrero led at that time by Jesús H. Salgado, who was ideologically close to Emiliano Zapata.
