The decision of the Second Chamber that protected the common-law wife of a Pemex retiree to receive life insurance and post mortem pension benefits, even though the employee was separated from his wife but had not divorced, reflects a progressive and comprehensive approach to the definition of family in the labor sphere. In this case, the justices argued that the common-law relationship formed by the employee and his partner was equivalent to a marriage, and therefore, the common-law wife was entitled to the benefits contemplated in the Pemex Collective Bargaining Agreement.
