Labor Reform in Mexico: Challenges as Key Deadline Approaches
As part of the labor reform process in Mexico, all collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) in force before May 1, 2019, must undergo a direct and secret vote by workers covered by the agreement. The deadline to comply with this requirement is May 2, 2023.
Through November 2022, only 8,448 of more than 500,000 CBAs that exist in the country have been subject to the process--less than 2 percent.
Join us for a dialogue about lessons learned and recommendations for making progress toward compliance with the legitimization process.
