Change and Continuity in Labor Relations in Mexico at the Beginning of the 21st Century

From the introduction
The corporative system has predominated in industrial relations in Mexico for the past 70 years. Some people believed it was approaching its end with establishment of the neoliberal economic model, but some 20 years have passed since then and it appears to persist. Others assumed that arrival to power in the year 2000 of a political party other than the traditional PRI would imply the end of this system of industrial relations, but that has not been the case. Nevertheless, important changes have taken place in these past six years. In this essay, we analyze the changes in labor relations during the last 13 years of the PAN government (2000-2009), the first occasion in 75 years of a change of party in power in Mexico.
