USMCA: New challenges and risks for US and Canadian companies with operations in Mexico

May 19, 2023 /

The United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA) established an aggressive new mechanism designed to determine whether U.S.- and Canadian-owned Mexican operations have a bona fide relationship with their unions and provide workers with acceptable levels of pay, benefits, and working conditions. The consequences of failing to comply with these standards can be severe.

Juan Carlos de la Vega offers practical and preventative insight based on recent labor disputes and litigation at this conference organized by the Employment Law Alliance. Topics will be reviewed such as:

 class =
  • How US and Canadian unions are using the USMCA to increase union power and influence in US and Canadian-owned Mexican operations.
  • How the USMCA’s new “rapid response” mechanism for labor disputes works and what you can expect in terms of the power of the U.S. and Canadian governments to closely scrutinize your Mexican operations, impose import restrictions, and demand a resolution to avoid sanctions.
  • What can be done to assess Mexican operations and determine whether steps are needed to avoid becoming the target of a USMCA complaint?
