The resolution of labor disputesin mexican labor regulatory institutions of the neoliberal period (2007-2020) (part two)

This paper shows how the legal labor figure of the labor dispute (formal claim filed by Mexican workers against employers in the Federal and Local Conciliation and Arbitration Boards in Mexico, JLCA and JFCA by their names in Spanish: Junta Local De Conciliación y Arbitraje and Junta Federal de Conciliación y Arbritaje) represented the second moment of control, restraint, and dominance of the Mexican working class performed by the authorities in charge of regulating conflict relations between capital and labor. Under this context, the influence of a neoliberal economic policy supported by an extended local public policy that favored local and foreign industrialists contributed to Mexico becoming an ideal country for attracting foreign investment due to establishing a worker-controlled labor paradise. For the first time, this document details how Mexican labor regulatory institutions failed to provide workers with labor justice over the past 30 years, as their public officials were ordered by their superior bosses (the local governors) not to serve their function. The use of graphs and national maps demonstrates that federal and state executive powers, through their state apparatuses, exerted control, restraint, and dominance over workers, resulting in Mexico becoming a territory capable of achieving labor peace (reduction and disappearance of worker disputes) - to the benefit of both national and international capital.
