Comments: The Constitution guarantees citizens the right to organize into trade unions. References: Article 123 of the Constitution, subpart XVI. Federal Labour Law, Articles 441, 356, 357, 359 and 381. Peer Review Comments: Trade unions in Latin America, Europe, and North America are usually affiliated (officially or unofficially) with political parties. This is not a problem in Mexico. Instead, unions were used as means of authoritarian control and they have not yet established a bottom-up decision-making process. Secondly, labor courts continue to rule in favor of these old corporatist unions that prevent workers from organizing independent unions of their own choosing.
