ARTEAGA GARCIA, Arnulfo. Work, key in citizenship construction. Polis [online]. 2012, vol.8, n.1, pp.13-44. ISSN 2594-0686.

This article deals with citizenship's social construction at the work shop and its pertinence to understanding of the complex context in which Mexican society develops. In its first part, the industrial citizenship concept is taken as reference and its capacity to explain current labor's conditions is viewed from a critique perspective; particularly because of its precarious and flexible state, as because of new social figure emergence in labor. In the second part, based on statistical data and case studies, the article forwards an oversight of labor conditions in Mexico. The third and last part, gives a set of global and local references that may be useful tools to the recovery of social cohesion from the labor standpoint (decent jobs, International Labor Organization, international framework treaties, multinational behavior guidelines, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, entrepreneur social responsibility, ISO 26000 and Federal Labor Law reform).

Palabras llave : labor; citizenship; industrial citizenship; precariousness; flexibility; rights; social cohesion; working classes.
