October 10, 1996 I. The Petitioners 1. COMMUNICATIONS WORKERS OF AMERICA, AFL-CIO (CW A), Morton Bahr, President, headquartered at 501 Third Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20001-2797, telephone: (202) 434-1110, fax: (202) 434-1139.

FEDERACION DE SINDICATOS DE EMPRESAS DE BIENES Y SERVICIOS (FESEBS), Benito Bahena Lome, Secretary General of the National Executive Committee, headquartered at number 16 Calle Rfo Neva, Colonia Cuauhtemoc, Mexico, Federal District, telephone: (52) (5) 705-3964 and fax: 705-5176 3. SINDICATO DE TELEFONISTAS DE LA REPUBLICA MEXICANA-STRM (Union of Telephone Workers' of Mexico), Francisco Hernandez-Juarez, Secretary General of the National Executive Committee, headquartered at number 16 Calle Rio Neva, Colonia Cuauhtemoc, Mexico, Federal District, telephone: (52) (5) 705-4653, 702-2100, fax: 703-2583. The STRM is an affiliate of the FESEBS, and of the Postal, Telegraph and Telephone International (PTTI). II. Compliance with guidelines for minimum standards required by the NAO (a) The matters described in this complaint demonstrate action inconsistent with Mexico's obligations under Part II of the agreement in four ways: First, the Mexican government has failed to "ensure that tribunals that conduct or review [labor] proceedings are impartial and independent and do not have any substantial interest in the outcome of the matter" [Article 5.4]; second, it has failed to "ensure that its administrative, quasi­ judicial, judicial and labor tribunal proceedings for the enforcement of its labor law are fair, equitable and transparent" [Article 5.1]; third, it has failed to "effectively enforce its labor law" regarding protection of workers against illegal dismissals and other forms of retaliation against legitimate union organizing activities "through appropriate 2 government action such as initiating, in a timely manner, proceedings to seek appropriate sanctions or remedies for violations of its labor law" [Article 3.1 (g)] , and fourth, it has failed to "effectively enforce its laws" related to minimum employment standards, and overtime pay, "through 1110nitoring compliance and investigating suspected violations, including through on-site inspections ... and through encouraging the establishment of worker-management committees to address labor regulation of the workplace" Article 3.1 (b) and (e). (b) Such actions have significantly harmed the workers involved, both individually and collectively, by denying them their rights under the law to freedom of association, impartial treatment by the labor authorities, fair enforcement of labor standards regarding working conditions, protection from retaliation against legitimate union organizing activities, and in some cases their physical well-being. (c) The actions described in this complaint, along with accompanying commentaries, demonstrate a persistent pattern of non-enforcement of labor law by Mexican labor authorities. Specifically, the laws not being enforced include: Article 123 of the Mexican Constitution and International Labor Organization Conventions 87 and 98, which Mexico has ratified and thus incorporated into its national bws, guaranteeing freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining; Articles of the Mexican Federal Labor Law (FLL) outlining the requirements for accepting or rejecting applications for legal recognition of trade unions; Articles of the FLL outlining the procedures to be followed in cases where more than one trade union exists in a factory; [These relevant provisions ofthe Constitution, laws and international conventions are included in Annex l.} (d) Relief has been properly sought under Mexican domestic law; specifically through four complaints requesting reinstatement for illegally fired workers and one appeal to the 3rd District Court requesting an injunction against a decision to deny union registration. However, the outcome of these legal actions have not resulted in adequate remedies that require proper enforcement of the law as required under the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation O\JAALC). (e) The matters described in the complaint are not currently pending before any international body. 3 III. Organizations and agencies involved in this case l. MAXI SWITCH, S.A. DE C.V.

  • Ii \ T MEXICAN GRASSES in the UNITED STATES NATIONAL
    ■ . ~+j-,r?7-w- - i i - . \ t MEXICAN GRASSES IN THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL HERBARIUM. By A. S, Hitchcock INTRODUCTION. The following list of grasses, based entirely upon specimens in the United States National Herbarium, is a preliminary paper, in which the scattered data upon Mexican grasses have been brought together and arranged in a convenient form. The species included have been accepted, for the most part, in their traditional sense. It has been impracticable to examine the types of many of the earlier described species since these specimens are located in European herbaria. For this reason the synonymy has been confined mostly to those names that could be fixed by an examination of American types, or concerning the application of which there was little doubt. The largest number of unidentified names are found in Fournier's work on Mexican grasses.1 This results from the incomplete or unsatis- factory descriptions and from the fact that the specimens cited under a given species either may not agree with the diagnosis, or may belong to two or more species, at least in different herbaria. An examination of the original specimens will undoubtedly lead to the identification of the greater part of these names. There are several specimens that have been omitted from the list because they have not been identified and are apparently unde- scribed species. They belong to genera, however, that are much in need of critical revision and further study of them is deferred for the present. In subsequent articles it is hoped to work out the classifi- cation of the tropical American grasses upon a type basis KEY TO THE GENEBA.

  • “Vámonos?” Alex Was Waiting for Me in the Truck, Ready to Start the Engine.1 the Fire Was in Mexico
    D E A D E N D “Vámonos?” Alex was waiting for me in the truck, ready to start the engine.1 The fire was in Mexico. We were a few miles north of the border, in the United States, wearing navy blue T-shirts with logos of the Nogales Suburban Fire District. Concerned that the blaze could jump the line into our jurisdic- tion, the chief instructed us to go and check it out.2 We didn’t need to hurry. Heading south, we passed an area known as the Buena Vista Ranch: a handful of houses cradled in the desert, its pale skin barely covered by a stubble of mesquite trees. I could see why back in the day John Wayne made movies here: the scenery was an ideal stage for a Hollywood Western. Several hydrants, their red paint beginning to fade, pointed to another story, one about plans to develop the area. But the ranch happened to be on a route of intense drug and human trafficking. Locals say that fear of violence associated with illicit trade scared potential homebuyers away, squelching their dreams of building a community. We passed a yellow “Dead End” sign perforated by bullets (“target practice,” Alex reassured me), unhitched a gate with a barely legible sign warning “no trespassing,” and after a few turns found ourselves on a dirt road running parallel to the border wall. From afar, the wall is but a squiggly dark line following the contour of the hilly landscape; close up, it resembles the spiky spine of a stegosaurus, low curves giving shape to menace and fear.
