Thanks for the tour. I have to admit that I'm basically ignorant about Mexico and its history.
Few years back, I read a paper showing that for an Asian country increased trade with low-corruption countries reduces local corruption. It's quite possible that trade has a similar effect on labor relationships, although it's hard to imagine that American trade unions in their current weakened state can have a significant impact on Mexico. The new generation of manufacturing workers just don't see themselves as union members - huge contrast with, e.g. Germany or France. Is there a similar generational divide in Mexico?
