In brief: US announces funding to combat anti-labour practices in Mexico
*The US embassy in Mexico has announced the allocation of US$23.4m to continue supporting the consolidation of Mexico’s labour justice system, in line with commitments made under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The embassy said the money would go towards projects combatting anti-labour practices that suppress salaries and create an unequal playing field for workers “harming our joint efforts to promote prosperity in North America”. Labour is one of 34 chapters contained in the USMCA, which is up for review this year. US President Donald Trump has expressed intentions to turn the review into a full-on renegotiation of the deal, suggesting he may walk away from it completely. Yesterday he described the deal as “irrelevant”, saying it provided “no real advantage to us” during a tour of a Ford Motor plant in Detroit, Michigan.
