This work looks at the historic conformation of workers as a class in Mexico's auto assembly industry and the ways in which they were atomized as a class sector and that consolidation was interrupted. As part of this process, the author looks at the role played by forms of organization of labor like Taylorism and Fordism, as well as the restructuring of production, the crisis and the decentralization of the main plants as part of the confrontation of two class formations in a historic period (1969-1982) characterized by severe conflicts in the factories.
