An outline of Mexican labor law

Article Abstract:

Mexican labor law gives employees greater rights than US law and regulates industrial relations in greater detail. The Federal Labor Law, first enacted in 1931 and expanded in 1970, is the cornerstone of Mexican labor law which is based on a definition of the labor relationship as subordination of one person by another in exchange for a wage and labor agreement. An employer must dismiss an employee with cause or incur liability. Employees have the legal right to share in the employer's profits and to strike, which is guaranteed under the Mexican Constitution.

North American Free Trade Agreement: implications for Mexican-American workers

Article Abstract:

The likely effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on Mexican-American workers were analyzed using data from the Mar 1988 Current Population Service Tape. The question was how prepared Mexican-American workers in selected industries were by virtue of age, education and collective bargaining protection to cope with employment gains or losses resulting from NAFTA. Social factors such as low earnings, poor education and lack of medical insurance indicated that Mexican-American workers were ill-equipped to cope with the consequences of NAFTA.

Factors influencing unfair labor practice charges

Article Abstract:

Unfair labor practice (ULP) filings by agents of unions conducting representation elections were surveyed to analyze the micro- or union-level reasons for the filing of a ULP. Results indicated that the chance of a favorable result judging from the membership of the NLRB in Washington and the wish to keep employers honest and protect workers were the main reasons. It is likely that the perceived mind-set of the regional NLRB office is also considered when deciding to make a ULP filing.
