Lance Compa and American Center for International Labor Solidarity, 2003

This report looks at Mexico's century-long fight for independent, democratic trade unions and social justice. Compa suggests that with an increasingly democratic government, well-enforced labour laws, and strong trade unions, Mexico has the potential to be a leader on worker rights standards. As the violations documented in this report make clear, however, Mexico still falls short of international worker rights standards.
