Union-Busting Bill Stopped by Union Action—in Mexico http://www.labornotes.org/2011/04/union-busting-bill-stopped-union-action-mexico

Tens of thousands demonstrate for weeks against a right-wing attempt to destroy union rights in the legislature. They appear to have stopped the bill, at least for now. No, this is not Wisconsin but Mexico, where employers and the official government-connected unions joined with a center-right party (the PRI) to push a law that would virtually dismantle workers’ rights despite longstanding constitutional protections.On Friday the Mexican Congress bowed to the marches and rallies, the educational campaigns and lobbying, the support from coalitions such as a human rights network and a pro-democracy lawyers’ group, and announced it would shelve the labor law “reform,” postponing any action until the fall.
