In contrast to the triumphalist corporate view that regularly champions the maquiladora industry as a lever of economic progress for Honduras, the maquila has caused fragmentation of production and widespread pauperization of social life, epitomizing an enclave economy aimed at international markets and threatening the very lives of workers. Substantial worker resistance has been characteristic of the maquila throughout its history. Contra la visión empresarial y triunfalista de la industria maquiladora como una palanca de progreso económico para Honduras, la maquila ha provocado la fragmentación productiva y una pauperización extendida de la vida social, representando de esta manera el galardón de una economía de enclave volcada a los mercados internacionales que pone en entredicho la vida misma de los trabajadores. Importantes experiencias de resistencia obrera se han desarrollado en la maquila a lo largo de su historia
