Abstract
The relationship between unionism and labor flexibility is analyzed in this article. In particular, some of the modifications made in Mexican unions, as a result of the introduction of flexible schemes in the manufacturing industry, are shown. This work attempts to be a methodological exercise in the way the impact of flexibility on unions has been approached in different texts, and, taking these texts as a starting point, to summarize the most important aspects in order to understand the connection between flexibility and unionism. This essay is based on some of the most notable works on flexibility and labor and union relations in Mexico.
