Mexico's New Labor Reform

[SEKT]

Mexico's New Labor Reform vanishes workers rights and expands the Capital ability to use as slaves by hour to mexican workers by means of the outsourcings (already working in the country but now legalized by the reform).
For the Unios associated to PRI the lower chamber eliminated the article that permit workers to choose a their prefered union as well as an article that permits undirect election of representatives within the unions, which let intact the power of the white leaders of those unions (officialist teachers union, oil union, and others).

In Mexico only one of each ten workers is affiliated to a union, and for those affiliated almost 75% of the unions are corrupt and with political ties with the right wing parties (mainly PRI).
Democratic unios have tried to fightback the reform but because of ther leaderships are also negociating some privileges the unions have been uneffective in stopping the Congress.

Damn. Did Mexico used to have a pretty big labor movement that got fucked like the US and UK?

The concrete condition of the Mexico's Labor Movement is that after the revolution the working class was assimilated within the Official "Revolutionary" Party in a corporative manner, most of the unions became not combative at all, white unions basically; the part of the labor movement that was able to go out or to create democratic unions is very weak to stop the reforms, and also, at the present time, the victory of the right wing candidate from PRI in the last election created an atmosphere of apathy within the working class not affiliated to any union which is mainly apolitical.

In my eyes, the peasant-based land redistribution ideas of Emiliano Zapata are exempt from social issues in Mexico except for in the southern provinces, where the Zapatistas call home. They aren't in the mainstream much, anymore, though, which is a bummer.

The agrarian rules that were applied after the Revolution where banished by the 1992 agrarian reform from the almost fascist former president Carlos Salinas, not much is left of the agrarian movement, which majority is also under the command of a corporative organization within PRI.

The "international marxist tendency" is part of a bourgeois party (PRD) that supports the anti-labor "reform" and, in fact, imposed the main union-busting elements of the reform already in the Federal District (Mexico City) where the PRD runs the government.

For a genuine Marxist perspective for class struggle against this anti-labor attack, read what the Grupo Internacionalista writes here: http://www.internationalist.org/huelganacionalcontrareformalaboral1210.html

I love when "genuine" expressions of marxism, but rather out of context, do not add anything more to the discussion, but only seek to co-opt comrades with their clairvoyant articles; for your information the Mexican section of the International Marxist Tendency, called "La Izquierda Socialista", performs work in the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA), with a presence throughout the country not only in the labor movement, but among the peasantry (while the Internationalist group is limited to a few faculties withih the national Autonomous University of Mexico - UNAM), here's our webpage with many articles about the labor movement and the struggle against the imposition of Peña Nieto, we do not autonombramos as "genuine", but we prefer to be side by side with the working class and the exploited the country.

MORENA is AMLO's new bourgeois party. El Militante was in the PRD with AMLO, now both identical estranged twin fission products of this cheer-leading squad for capitalist politicians have followed El Peje into his next death trap for the workers.

[SEKT]

It's incredible that the base of MORENA is composed by the exploited and still, because those comrades are not under their control, the "genuine marxists" immediately claim they are in a bourgeois organization, very good manner of "arguing" with the same common places, if you don't follow us then you are bourgeois, this is what explain the great "success" of the internationalist in Mexico. Anyways this post was related to the Labor Reform not to which group is the "most genuine" and that sort of crap.

There's going to be a mass demonstration in resistance:
