Labour Reforms 2021

challenges as added value are:

  • Changes to Mexican labor legislation mark a watershed in individual and collective employment relationships. Their primary objective is to ensure freedom of association and protect workers' and employers' organizations from interfering in one another's affairs.
  • The labor provisions of the USMCA (T-MEC) provide for freedom of association and effective recognition of collective bargaining rights. Employers are prohibited from interfering in union activities, discriminating against or coercing workers because of union activities, or penalizing their refusal to join a union.
  • This union autonomy exercised by workers will directly affect industrial production processes in Mexico. It is therefore important to prevent any social risks that may arise within unions and undoubtedly affect the organization's stability.
  • In individual labor proceedings, understanding the new labor procedural framework is essential, with effective preliminary conciliation to reduce labor lawsuits and ensure fairness, equity and transparency.
  • To respond in a timely and strategic manner to the conditions of work caused by the new employment normality faced by businesses.
  • Develop strategies minimizing risks from legislative changes affecting employment relationships, including outsourcing, minimum wages, human rights and tax changes. Intended for:
  • General Managers, Human Resources Managers, Human Resources Generalists, HR Business Partners, Industrial Relations Specialists, and those responsible for labor and union relations within the company.
