Monclova ante el cierre de AHMSA. Un enclave siderúrgico reconfigurado

The Politics of Informal Domestic and Construction Worker Organizing
The growing recognition that informal workers can organize successfully has generated debate over the determinants of effectiveness in such organizing. We contribute to this discussion by examining the cases of domestic and construction worker organizations in Mexico, using a power resources framework. Profiling these movements, the key obstacles they face, and their achievements, we undertake a threefold comparison. Within Mexico, we compare org…
Shifting Tides of Informal Worker Resistance in Mexico
Informal workers in Mexico, the majority of the country's workforce, have organised to demand rights, but with varying results. In this article, we contrast recent organising by Mexico's domestic workers and informal construction workers. Household worker movements have succeeded in institutionalising significant new organisations and raising public awareness. Construction workers, despite earlier militant counterexamples, have remained trapped b…
Paid Domestic Work
A consideration of paid domestic work as an aspect of the informal economy in Mexico identifies some distinctive features: a paternalistic view rather than a labor relation based on a contract, a reluctance on the part of the state to regulate this employment area, and a devaluation of this work as something largely performed by women who are poor and of rural or indigenous origin. The lack of social security is almost universal among paid domest…
Transitioning from School to Work as a Mexican 1.5er
This is a qualitative study that examines the process through which young adults who were born in Mexico and immigrated to the United States in their formative years have managed to attain a college education, and the uncertainty that besets their future careers. The article focuses on successful college attainment but seeks to add to the debate about resilient migrants along the following lines. The young adult immigrant population (referred to …
Family Influences on Goals, Remittance Use, and Settlement of Mexican Immigrant Agricultural Workers in Minnesota
International migration to seek work and remit money home is an increasingly common family strategy to overcome financial hardship. However, little is understood about family involvement in the decision to leave or how family circumstances influence migration. This qualitative study analyzed narratives of 17 agricultural workers in Minnesota and 17 of their family members in Mexico to describe their migration experiences. Results show how goals, …
