The Restructuring of the Corporatist Pact

The aim of this chapter is to examine the restructuring of the corporatist framework and state- labor relations generated by neoliberal reforms and the advent of democratization. The reactions of labor unions to neoliberal reforms are described and examined, and how these affected workers and labor organizations. The development of independent labor unionism in the neo-liberal period is analyzed in more detail. Finally, several actions against labor organizations during the Calderon and Pena Nieto governments are described, as well as the prospects for organized labor in the AMLO government.
