Against the rules
The opening of the Mexican revolution in 1910 created opportunities for Mexico’s small industrial working class to push forward its demands and desires. Although the revolution came late and initially from above in the Yucatán, workers in the region’s Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatan (FUY), took advantage to create spaces of relative freedom and power for themselves through both individual and collective resistance. Using the company’s personnel r…
Command and control at work
This article examines the evolution of written work rules on the railroads in Mexico from 1883 to 1923, looking at three sets of work rules from the Porfiriato and three from the Revolution. Just as foreign investors, British and American, and foreign skilled workers, mostly American, played an important role in the establishment of Mexico's first railroad companies, these same foreign businesses brought their written rule books, necessary for th…
The Making of Law
William Suarez-Potts states that The Making of Law “is a history of the development of labor law in Mexico from 1875 to 1931” (p. 1). In truth, however, the volume stays closer to its title, which highlights the relationship between the Supreme Court and labor legislation in Mexico. Legal realism, the position that the law is what judges and judicial authorities do rather than the written text, was developed to understand US common law, and Suare…
International Labor Organizations and Organized Labor in Latin America and the Caribbean

Mexico's Urban Revolution
Authority Re-Seated
The Revolution, the Labour Regime and Conditions of Work in the Cotton Textile Industry in Mexico, 1910-1927
From 1910 to 1927 workers in the Mexican cotton textile industry took advantage of the larger surrounding revolution to create a revolution of their own. Based on a significant and persistent challenge to workplace authority, millhands radically transformed the labour regime in Mexican industry. Although owners combated the workers' rebellion, they never inflicted a decisive defeat. As a consequence, the conditions of work in Mexican mills improv…
The Workers' Revolt in Canada, 1917-1925
Without Any More Law Than Their Own Caprice”
Much current literature argues that the Mexican revolution was not a revolution at all, but rather a series of rebellions that did not fundamentally alter the social order. Similarly, many scholars assert the changes in the Mexican work world during the Mexican revolution were the result of a paternalistic state rather than the product of the actions of workers. This article examines cotton textile workers' relationship to authority in the workpl…
The Genesis of the Mexican Labor Relations System
By comparison with the rest of Latin America, Mexico's post-revolutionary political stability has long fascinated historians and social scientists. One explanation for relative political peace is the comprehensive land and labor reforms President Lázaro Cárdenas implemented in the 1930s. These created a base of social support for post-revolutionary elites. In contrast, the absence of significant land reforms and the failure to devise hegemonic la…
