Abstract
The movement of the railway workers from 1957 to 1960 marked an important rupture in the corporative economic and political system of post‐revolutionary Mexico. In the first two years of struggle the workers won significant wage increases and political autonomy within the Mexican railway workers' trade union (STFRM). Because of the rise of international anti‐communist politics and its strong political influence on the rest of Mexican society, the movement faced increasing state repression that cut off the independent leadership and discarded its demands in 1959.
