Mexico passes controversial labor reform bill

A bipartisan effort modernizes labor laws to an extent, but the country's far left says the legislation still favors employers over workers.

Mexico passed legislation Tuesday overhauling the country's 40-year-old labor laws in a bipartisan effort that many say isn't strong enough. The far left claims the new laws favor big business over workers and that true reform has yet to come.

President Felipe Calderon, who steps down from the presidency Dec. 1 and originally proposed the legislation, has said the new law would add hundreds of thousands of new jobs, and will allow women and young people to more easily access employment while boosting productivity.

However, the left is concerned about the ease with which employers can now hire and fire at will, outsource jobs, sidestep giving workers health benefits and hire part-time workers for a fraction of the pay they'd otherwise receive. The new law also does nothing to democratize the unions, which are ancient, corrupt and often led by bosses who are more closely tied to the employers than the workers are.

"It's the worst of both worlds," says Cristina Auerbach, a labor lawyer working with coal miners in the northern state of Coahuila, of the recent reforms. "It strips away rights from workers and leaves union leaders untouched."

...in exchange for Bush Junta help in stealing the 2005 election--to transform Mexico into the U.S., with outsourcing of jobs, and a cheap, expendable workforce, etc.

I remember reading about U.S. corps ripping up operations here--and destroying U.S. communities in the process--and outsourcing the jobs to Mexico, THEN, when Mexican workers struck for higher wages (in one case, $3/hr as opposed to $2/hr) outsourcing to Cambodia, where workers have no rights at all and can be paid 25 cents a day!

The whole game is busting labor rights!

Calderon failed in his "mission" to private Mexico's oil (a constitutionally protected resource)--there was too much opposition, including within the legislature--but he has apparently succeeded with THIS. What's going on in the Mexican congress, for this to happen, I don't know--the DLC-ification of Mexico's leftist leadership, as happened here? But I imagine that this will give Calderon at least half his pay-off. No, wait! I forgot about the U.S. "war on drugs"--billions of our tax dollars from the Bushwhacks to the Mexican fascists, in 2008, to rip that society to shreds and pile up mountains of bodies--the DEA-ification of Mexico!

He gets two-thirds of his pay-off!
