La Oficina Internacional del Trabajo en México

The first official contact of the International Labour Office with Mexico, after its particular and exhausting admission process, was carried out by two of its officials in May 1933. The brief but fruitful stay of Edward J. Phelan and Stephen Lawford Childs, representatives of Geneva internationalism, would contribute likeno previous effort to strengthen a relationship to be built, capable of offering benefits to both parties based on better mutual knowledge. This article tries to give an account not so much of the origins of the relationship as of its true starting point and revitalization, paying special attention to the concerns of the Mexican government, union and employer authorities regarding their place in the organization (tripartism) and their representative exclusivity (conflict between workers’ centrals), as well as the needs and opportunities of the International Labour Organization before this new member and actor in its International Labour Conferences. This important mission, as Phelan himself would recognize, would benefit from the advice and support given by Spanish republican diplomacy in the person of its ambassador to Mexico, Julio Álvarez del Vayo
