| Summary: | The National Union of Education Workers (SNTE, Spanish acronym) is one of the most important unions in Mexico. With more than 1.2 million members it is among the strongest political and social actors in the country. As a result of the 1979 split in the core of this organization, the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE, Spanish acronym) was created as a democratic response to the official alliance between the Union and the government. CNTE has been a main actor in public demonstrations to claim democratization in all social and political processes, as well as in union and labor conditions. Since then, the teachers’ struggle has been divided into two groups: those who are part of the government alliances, and those supporting democratic resistance. I will seek to analyze the settings and features of the union action through the political protest of these two teachers union groups, which have been of great relevance in Mexican politics. |
