Article 123 of Mexico’s Constitution, entitled “Labor and Social Security,” expressly recognizes and protects employees’ basic inalienable rights including, but not limited to: vacation, overtime entitlement, job stability, maximum work shift, maternity rights, social security rights, salary protection, profit-sharing entitlement, severance payment in case of unfair dismissal, freedom of association (the right to unionize), and collective bargaining rights, including the right to strike.

Since nafta strikes still happen, but far less often because the unions have been weakened. So are those coming back? In particular the CTM is very much weakened.

And it gets worst.


The Mexican Congress is set to pass labor law “reform” this week that will be devastating for millions of workers’ legal rights and incomes. Here members of the independent electrical utility workers’ union (SME) demonstrate against the law. Photo: SME.
The Mexican Congress looks set to pass a piece of fast-track labor law “reform” this week that could be devastating for millions of workers’ legal rights and incomes.

The changes both pro-business parties are agreed on would undermine the 44-hour work week by permitting subcontracting and temporary or part-time work for the first time.

Additional changes that would make it virtually impossible to organize or maintain genuine unions or to strike were part of the legislation introduced September 1, but it appears that some of those changes may be withdrawn under pressure.

These reforms, with the rest of the pro business reforms, are in preparation for TTP. There is also an extensive energy reform that essentially privatizes PEMEX, or close to it. Education reform that apes NCLB. I could go on.

I am sorry, my mind kept going to the series of articles I had to memorize by heart in HS. My point still stands. TTP will not be good for workers.



You might live in that fantasy, the rest of us are not. What we are seeing in San Quintin is exactly what we expect to see TTP trade zone. You should find out more on this. And you and your friend got your talking points from the same fucking pace.

So go argue with labor. There is a reason why labor trade zone area wide dies not want these types of treaties.
When dealing with real-time broadcasts, I tend to think the onus for avoiding spoilers is primarily on the person who wants to avoid seeing spoilers. Expecting to read social media and be protected from spoilers seems unrealistic. Skinner

So no, I was not doing that on purpose

I am not using buggy whip false analogies. I am not calling this a conspiracy or conspiracy theorists. I am not calling two nation states beggars. YOU ARE.

So please proceed governor.

As to the rest of what Summers said, he still stated that this is NOT HELPING THE MIDDLE CLASS. But I expect you to mischaracterize all that is told you, This is your MO. Include your MO also distraction.
