Benedicto Martinez of the FAT gave us an introduction to Mexican labor law, which was necessary in order for us to understand how much of an up hill battle the workers have. Mexican labor laws are the best there are anywhere in the world. In fact written right in their constitution is the right to organize. Also, all workers are entitled by law to 10% profit sharing, a Christmas bonus, twelve weeks paid maternity leave, guarantied severance pay, and other benefits. On paper workers in Mexico have more protection and benefits than we do here in the United States.
