El Sindicato Mexicano de Electricistas y la reestructuración laboral de Luz y Fuerza del Centro

Abstract

THIS PRESENT ARTICLE APPROACHES THE OPPORTUNITIES AND RESTRICTIONS ARISING FROM THE PECULIAR NATURE OF THE "SINDICATO MEXICANO DE ELECTRICISTAS" (SME) IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MODERNIZATION OF "LUZ Y FUERZA DEL CENTRO" (LFC), TEN YEARS AFTER IT WAS CREATED. THE PAPER ANALYZES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS TRADE UNION, THE DYNAMIC OF NEGOTIATIONS LINKED TO ITS RESTRUCTURING, WHAT ITS MEMBERS THINK ABOUT THE CHANGE IN LABOUR RELATIONS AND THE PROPOSALS GEARED TO ENSURING ITS VIABILITY. THE ARTICLE ARGUES THAT THE SME SHOULD BE SEEN AS PART OF THE PROBLEM FACING LFC, BUT LIKEWISE AS PART OF THE SOLUTION, AVAILING OF THE STATUS OF "CITIZENS" EXHIBITED BY ITS MEMBERS IN BUILDING A TRUE MODEL OF INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY WITHIN THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR.
