Presenting: New TUED Working Paper on Mexico’s Reclaim and Restore Public Energy Agenda and What it Means for Unions

‍

TUED’s latest Working Paper focuses on how, since 2018, Mexico has made pathbreaking efforts to reclaim its energy transition by reversing neoliberal privatisation laws and regulations and reconstituting its public energy companies as champions of both energy sovereignty and climate protection. 

‍

Titled Walking the Public Pathway: Mexico's Post-Neoliberal Electricity Policy and its Significance for Unions, the TUED Working Paper [available in SP/FR/IN] comes at a time when the governments are walking away from their Paris Agreement commitments. Mexico, however, is showing true climate leadership by breaking with the “privatise the decarbonise” neoliberal agenda that was pursued by previous governments. 

The labor dimension of this political conjuncture is, however, not without tensions and contradictions. The June 30th forum will discuss the contents of the working paper and hear inputs from TUED trade union comrades and allies.
