Bensusán 2006

Bensusan, Graciela. 2006. "Le renouveau syndical au Mexique sous le premier gouvernement de

transition". Relations Industrielles = Industrial Relations. 61 (4): 708.

Overview:

• Three signs corporatism is in crisis

o Union leaders more autonomous

o President doesn’t have as much power

o Businesses now very important to the creation of unions (ghost unions)

• Fox prefers old corporatist unions when possible, can still control them

• Law allows government and businesses to impose their will on unions

o Government can still arrest strikes

o Businesses only want unions that won’t be bothersome

• Unions have gained autonomy from the state, but haven’t developed ability to be responsive to

rank and file
