A National Supreme Court of Justice case in Mexico on the constitutionality of employers excluding workers not belonging to a contracted union is analyzed. In this case, the CTM labor union protested the admission of nonunion workers to the El Potrero sugar factory; the Court found this clause to be unconstitutional. The positions of various union & government officials on this decision are described. This & earlier decision on freedom of association indicate the Court's willingness to dismantle the labor unions' corporativism & to provide difficult conditions for unionism per se. 3 References.

This article deals with the structural crisis of corporative syndicalism represented by "El Congreso del Trabajo." Its main factor is the drastic fall in the rate of affiliation, aggravated by the existence of a large number of fictitious unions that manage protection contracts. This phenomenon has dwindled the quota of political representation of corporative syndicalism, especially parliamentary, that was granted by the PRI, reflecting also the decomposition of this political party. 11 Tables.

This article analyzes different problems that characterize the progressive decline of the Federacion de Sindicatos de Trabajadores al Servicio del Estado, the labor union of public sector workers, in the 1990s. One problem has been the resolutions of the supreme court regarding the rights of public sector workers to be in more than one labor union in an institution. The topic is illustrated by the example of some labor unions that have been fighting to obtain alternative labor union recognition. Other problems related to the Federacion's decline include membership loss, administrative decentralization, incapacity to negotiate labor conditions in bilateral terms, & its waste as a political factor in electoral process. 1 Table.

The corporate workers' union system is one of the main components of the Mexican political system. Its bureaucracy & cliques guaranteed their own continuity in union power during the transition of parties in government during 2000-2001. This essay depicts the pattern of such continuity in some important labor unions, eg, electricians, oilmen, teachers, miners, & railroad workers. It explains that when bureaucracies become stable, the framework for adaptation of corporate labor unions to the changes in the political system is created. This process takes place due primarily to the partial breakdown of corporative bonds between workers' unions & the PRI; however, progress in political democracy does not imply an improvement in labor unions' internal democracy.
