CROM (Confederación Regional de Obreros Mexicanos)

CROM, or the Confederación Regional de Obreros Mexicanos, was a major Mexican labor organization founded in 1918. It aimed to unify various workers’ unions to improve workers’ rights, wages, and working conditions. CROM often collaborated with the government, supporting policies that maintained social order but sometimes limited radical activism. It played a significant role in Mexican labor history, representing a broad spectrum of workers while balancing cooperation with authorities and advocating for labor interests within the political context of 20th-century Mexico.
