In view of the important role of trade union institutions in Mexico, the paper aims to present a study of three trade unions in the textile industry in the country, beginning in 1982 and ending in 1998. The objective of this analysis was to classify and explain the analogies and differences that these figures before the change in economic and political structures. Through a comparative method, the axis of similarities was forged, once each trade union organization was selected as a unit of analysis and various techniques, both qualitative and quantitative, were carried out in each one. By way of conclusion, the findings that form a common discourse constructed within a reality with high degrees of inactivity and demobilization are presented in a schematic way.

Given the current environmental problems such as climate change, it is urgent to move towards a new technological and production pattern that allow economic growth and care for the environment to be compatible with each other. Different economic growth models have addressed the relationship between this and technical change, however, they have given little importance to the environment. For this reason, the objective of the current paper is to perform an exploratory and descriptive analysis of the role of technological change as a determinant of economic growth from the Solow (1957) and Kaldor & Mirrlees (1962) models, as well as to raise the need to move towards more sustainable growth models based on a new technological pattern and more efficient forms of production that guarantees a green economy, some principles of Industrial Ecology and the intensive use of renewable energy, sustainability.
