美墨就北墨西哥VU制造厂的劳工投诉达成协议

路透社于3月31日报道，美国和墨西哥已就北墨西哥VU制造厂的劳工投诉达成协议。根据2020年制定的《美国-墨西哥-加拿大协定》（USMCA），公司被要求允许工人自由选择他们的工会，以改善劳工权利。墨西哥政府此前曾发现该工厂存在“严重违规”了USMCA。墨西哥现已同意对VU制造厂启动制裁程序，并采取适当行动对违反工人权利的人力资源人员进行处罚。该工厂的工人成立了一个新工会“La Liga”，并声称VU制造厂的管理层阻挠他们建立首个集体合同，其中包括薪资增加，并骚扰工会支持者。

美国已向多家在墨西哥违反了USMCA的企业提出了劳工投诉，其中包括通用汽车[GM:US]、斯泰莱斯 [STLA:US]和松下[6752:JP]。今年早些时候，几家民间组织又向USMCA提出了请愿书，要求调查墨西哥的劳工权利侵犯。请愿书声称，墨西哥在家禽和汽车零部件行业未能执行其劳工法律，导致工人工资很低、工作条件恶劣。

US and Mexico Reach Agreement to Address Labor Complaint at VU Manufacturing

The US and Mexico have reached an agreement to address a US labor complaint at VU Manufacturing, an auto parts plant in northern Mexico, as reported by Reuters on March 31. The deal requires the company to allow workers to freely choose their union, as per the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which seeks to improve labor rights. The Mexican government had earlier found "serious irregularities" at the factory, which violated USMCA. Mexico has now agreed to initiate sanctions proceedings against VU Manufacturing and take appropriate action against human resource personnel who violated workers' rights. Workers at the plant had formed a new union, La Liga, and alleged that VU Manufacturing management had obstructed their efforts to establish the first collective contract, which would include a salary increase, and harassed union supporters.

The US has filed several labor complaints in Mexico under USMCA, including against General Motors [GM:US], Stellantis [STLA:US], and Panasonic [6752:JP]. Earlier this year, a group of civil society organizations has filed several petitions under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) calling for investigations into labor rights violations in Mexico. The petitions allege that Mexico has failed to enforce its labor laws in the poultry and auto parts industries, resulting in low wages and poor working conditions for workers.
