COPING WITH CONTINUOUS CRISES IN MAQUILADORAS. THE CASE OF MEXICAN WOMEN WORKERS
This article explains how the women workers in Mexican maquiladoras have learnt to cope with the continuous contingencies of these industries linked with the international economy and shows how they have also crafted different strategies to overcome them. Abandoned by the state and sought after only for investing reasons, the workers, in special women, in this industry have been constantly forced to endure continuous recessions. Finally, the text substantiates the worth of smaller local institutions, such as unions, which, in spite of the magnitude and weight of the global economy, are meant to assist workers in confronting their frequent crises in maquiladoras.

Abstract:
This article explains how the women workers in Mexican maquiladoras have learnt to cope with the continuous contingencies of these industries linked with the international economy and shows how they have also crafted different strategies to overcome them. Abandoned by the state and sought after only for investing reasons, the workers, in special women, in this industry have been constantly forced to endure continuous recessions. Finally, the text substantiates the worth of smaller local institutions, such as unions, which, in spite of the magnitude and weight of the global economy, are meant to assist workers in confronting their frequent crises in maquiladoras.
