La Consolidated Rolling Mills and Foundries Company mejor conocida como La Consolidada S. A. fue una compañía siderometalúrgica fundada por Harry Wright en la ciudad de México. Su vida industrial comenzó con dos hornos eléctricos con los que fundió chatarra de acero con tan sólo 400 trabajadores a partir de 1907. Durante el cardenismo (1934-1940) nació el Sindicato Industrial de Trabajadores, Mineros, Metalúrgicos y Similares de la República Mexicana (SITMMSRM), uno de los sindicatos industriales más combativos de México. Los trabajadores de La Consolidada S.A., que formaron la sección 97 SITMMSRM, fueron protagonistas en muchos movimientos de protesta o en apoyo a las secciones hermanas del sindicato con el fin de obtener no sólo mejores salarios, sino condiciones laborales justas. Sus acciones fueron consideradas como radicales y el Estado mexicano intentó someter al sindicato a través de la sección 97. Sin embargo, antes de la embestida del Estado, lograron las mejores prestaciones sociales durante el cardenismo, época que quedó en la memoria de sus trabajadores y en los recuerdos iconográficos legados a sus familias.
