Abstract
Mexico’s unions combine features of a state institution, a party machine, and an employment service with those of corrupt and authoritarian unions. These hybrid institutions have been partners with the state and the bourgeoisie in disciplining the working class both in the workplace and politically. A number of features of union organization and perspective contribute to this controlling role. The state and the bourgeoisie have again enlisted labor officialdom to contain working-class discontent in the face of the crisis of the Mexican regime and of the neoliberal project. This recycling of the system of labor control is fully compatible with the interests of this hybrid and opportunist set of labor leaders, interests that are far from those of their membership and the vast masses of unorganized workers. Rank-and-file workers and the left have not yet been able to launch an effective challenge to this system of control.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
