ORNELAS, Carlos. El SNTE, Elba Esther Gordillo y el gobierno de Calderón. RMIE [online]. 2008, vol.13, n.37, pp.445-469. ISSN 1405-6666.
Although the National Union of Workers in Education (Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación-SNTE) no longer has the monopoly of representing the teaching profession, and in spite of movements that challenge the leadership of the group's president, the group continues to be the most powerful union organization in Mexico. Its power extends to other areas of political life, bureaucratic institutions, and to an even greater degree, to the administration of basic education. One might believe that the SNTE and its president, Elba Esther Gordillo, have become more powerful under the protection of President Felipe Calderón, yet they face new challenges. This article analyzes the corporatist practices of the SNTE and the institutional consequences for the Secretariat of Public Education, especially bureaucratic channels. During the analysis, theoretical notions for explaining the case are discussed.
