In February 2017, Mexico enacted landmark constitutional reforms, which aim to transform its labor justice system into a more transparent and impartial system to better protect freedom of association and collective bargaining rights. In May 2019, the President of Mexico signed into law the necessary legislation to fully implement the 2017 constitutional reforms. Mexico’s auto sector employers, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises, face notable challenges to comply with these reforms, and often lack awareness of their new responsibilities and obligations.
