On Monday, April 29 the Mexican legislature adopted a set of major labor reforms, a necessary move towards the passage of the USMCA agreement. The labor law reform now ensures that workers can freely vote for their union representation and contracts. Passage of the labor reforms is seen as an important key event as U.S. President Donald Trump seeks Democratic support of the USMCA in the U.S. Congress.

A copy of U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer’s comments on the reforms can be found here.
