Ethics of hard work and productivity at Teléfonos de México (Telmex)
In response to fear of a massive upheaval in personnel at Teléfonos de México (Tel-mex), the telephone workers’ union promoted the signing of a program aimed at raising work quality and productivity. Telephone workers in the town of Zapotitlán reactivated the ethics of hard rural work with the goals of facilitating their incorpo-ration into the program and obtaining the corresponding bonuses. On the basis of testimonies from participants, experiences in increasing productivity are documen-ted. In addition, worker’s participation in Toyotist-type quality circles known as “analysis groups” is also described. The intention is to detect obstacles to produc-tion, and offer alternatives to non-unionized employees to overcome them.
