PRI's labor reform proposal not very credible.

PRI just presented its own labor reform proposal, which nominally appears to push the party far to the left on workers rights and compensation. 


Its main points, from Milenio:



My initial thoughts: Coming from a party that for decades only paid lip service to workers rights enshrined in the Mexican Constitution, and then in the 1980s and 90s together with the PAN did all they could to tear labor rights further apart in the name of the "free market" and "competitiveness," this proposal is simply not credible: Unless PRI's parliamentary group has suddenly made a sharp turn to the left, this reeks of electioneering, and little else.
