Senate committees to address labor reform in Mexico

Mexico City, Feb 9 (Prensa Latina) The President of the Mexican Senate, Laura Itzel Castillo, highlighted the most relevant issues to be addressed in the upper house and its committees starting today and throughout the rest of the week, including labor reform.

In a video shared on social media, the legislator specified that the members of the Constitutional Affairs, Labor and Social Welfare, and Legislative Studies committees will discuss the report related to this project.

Following a consensus with the business, labor, academic, government, and civil society sectors, president Claudia Sheinbaum announced last December that the initiative would be sent to the Senate.

According to the information released at the time, the proposal includes the gradual implementation of a 40-hour workweek, through a reduction of two hours per year until reaching that goal in 2030, which will benefit 13.4 million workers.

Castillo mentioned other important matters for the coming days, such as the presentation of initiatives by parliamentary groups and the debate surrounding an agreement on the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Belisario Dominguez Institute, dedicated to research.

In addition, circuit judges will be sworn in, and one of the sessions will include a speaker of an indigenous language “from one of the diverse communities and peoples we have in our country,” the senator noted.
