The US and Mexico resolved a USMCA Rapid Response Labor Mechanism matter involving an auto parts facility in Mexico, the Office of the US Trade Representative said on September 28.
The facility, Akwel Juárez México, in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, was alleged to have denied workers’ freedom of association and collective bargaining rights.
The US and Mexico agreed on a course of remediation to address labor violations, including employer interference in union activity and retaliatory dismissals, which has been implemented.
Actions taken by Akwel included reinstating three workers with full backpay and benefits and paying full severance to six workers.
Mexico imposed sanctions on Akwel, including financial penalties, for violating Mexican laws related to freedom of association and collective bargaining.
The US Trade Representative has directed the Secretary of the Treasury to resume liquidation of unliquidated entries of goods from the facility.
