Mexico is pushing through legislation to bolster workers’ rights and comply with the pending update to the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The amendments could be voted on by Mexico’s lower legislative body later this week, Bloomberg News reports. One major change: Workers will be required to vote for their unions and labor contracts, neither of which is common practice today.
Mexico is hustling the reforms through to head off a threat by Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives to reopen the so-called U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The USMCA was signed by the countries last November.
Canada has warned that revising the deal at this point would create a “Pandora’s box” of complications. The pact has not yet been ratified by any of the participants.
