Mexico’s New Labor Laws: Union Organizing and New Regulations Increase Challenges for US Companies

*Webinars are CLE-accredited in California, Illinois, New York, Missouri and Texas. We are also accredited providers of HRCI and SHRM.

On May 1, Mexico adopted sweeping changes to its labor laws, ushering in a new era of labor relations. In less than six months, Mexico has seen a wave of independent union challenges and selective strikes and new regulations are about to be issued which will give the law more teeth. This will likely result in a more significant increase in the amount and breadth of independent unionization than Mexico has ever seen. Join us as we review the new challenges facing employers, and strategies to respond to increased unionization in this evolving legal environment.

Topics

• How new Mexican labor laws strengthen independent unions
• The likely  increase of union organizing in US companies with Mexican operations
• New restrictions on how employers can interact with unions
• Expanded employee rights
• How pressure from US Congress has affected these reforms
