The Mexican Federal Labor Law and other laws affecting employment were recently amended to give workers the right to engage in collective bargaining and form and join unions. Other reforms include the elimination of the current labor authority (labor boards); the creation of labor courts, which will be part of the existing court system, dependent on the judicial branch; the formation of a national registry of unions and collective bargaining agreements; and a conciliation center. In this session, the managing partner of our Mexico City office will address the impact of these sweeping reforms on employers with operations in Mexico and provide tips for what those employers should do now to prepare for when the various provisions take effect.
