This past July 1st of 2020, historic date for Mexico, upon the entry into effect of the new treaty celebrated amongst Mexico, the United States, and Canada, best known as (T-MEC), with which the relationships and economies amongst these countries will continue to strengthen, becoming one of the fundamental points of labor law, specifically in its chapter 23, of which the most important points are the following:

• The freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective negotiation.
• The elimination of all forms of forced or mandatory labor.
• The effective abolition of child labor, the prohibition of the worse forms of child labor and other labor protections for children and minors.
• The elimination of discrimination of employment and occupation and acceptable work conditions regarding to minimum wage, work hours, and safety and health at work.

As for the previous points, we broadly recommend that companies review its policies with the purpose of verifying the due compliance of the labor obligations since, in case of non-compliance, the import tariffs of the company products al amparo del T-MEC could be lost.
