Tehuacan’s Garment Industry in Times of Crisis

Abstract

"In 2003, the Maquila Solidarity Network and the Human and Labour Rights Commission of Tehuacan Valley produced reports in English and Spanish on worker rights in the garment industry in Tehuacan in the state of Puebla, Mexico. The global economic situation and other factors in Mexico have contributed to significant change in the industry since the report came out in early 2003. In 2010, Rodrigo Santiago Hernandez, one of the authors of the original Spanish report, produced an update. The following is MSN’s summary and analysis of his research findings."
