The
U.S. Trade Representative said on Aug. 7 it had asked Mexico to
see whether workers "are being denied the rights to freedom of
association and collective bargaining" at the privately held
company's facility, which makes electrical components for autos
for Japan-based Yazaki Corp.
Mexico's labor ministry and Federal Center for Conciliation and
Labor Registration "determined that there is no substantial
evidence of employer interference or denial of rights to freedom
of association and collective bargaining by the company," the
labor and economy ministries said in a joint statement.
The rejection is one of the few times since the
U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement went into effect in 2020 that
Mexico has deemed a case ineligible for review under the pact,
which has tougher rules than its NAFTA predecessor.
