The Office of the US Trade Representative invoked a rapid response labor mechanism under USMCA to review alleged denial of workers' rights at a Guanajuato textile facility, the agency said on Tuesday.
The United States has suspended liquidation of unliquidated entries of goods from Carolina Performance Fabrics, S.A. de C.V., which manufactures specialized, high-performance textiles for the automotive industry.
The Interagency Labor Committee for Monitoring and Enforcement received a petition on September 10, 2026, from a Mexican union affiliated with the Confederación Central Nacional.
The petition alleges that Carolina interfered in union activity and retaliated against workers for organizing, including through harassment, threats, and unlawful dismissals.
The ILC determined that sufficient, credible evidence exists to invoke enforcement mechanisms under the USMCA.
Mexico has 10 days to agree to conduct a review and, if it agrees, 45 days from October 13, 2026, to complete it.
