Mexico - The Federal Labor Law - in English
A
practical reference for the English speaking manager in Mexico
The
Mexican Labor law is based on Article 123 of the Constitution of
1917 (La Constitución Política) de 1917. Article 123 was an
response to one of the primary causes of the Mexican Revolution,
the exploitation and abuse of the working class.
It
establishes the Federal Government's control and responsibility
for labor legislation. It prohibits child labor mandates an
eight hour work day, overtime pay, obligatory holidays,
vacations, wages paid in cash, severance pay, the
responsibilities of workers and employers, and
mandatory
profit sharing.
A worker
who has a grievance can easily make a complaint, to the (Junta
de Conciliación y Arbitraje) the Board of Conciliation and
Arbitration (Labor Board), the Juntas are instructed by the
Constitution to find for the worker if there is any doubt.
To avoid labor problems and lawsuits, and create an environment
that is productive and comfortable, it is vital that
Maquiladoras and international companies doing business in
Mexico devise a management strategy based on familiarity with
Mexican labor law. This careful, accurate translation provides a
tool, in English, to accomplish that goal. This translation is
excellent for those who are learning Spanish, because it is
presented in a side by side English/Spanish format.
