The United States and Mexico on Friday announced an agreement to address a U.S. labor trade complaint at the VU Manufacturing auto parts plant in northern Mexico that requires the firm to allow free association rights for the factory’s workers.
The U.S. Department of Labor said in a statement the agreement includes a commitment by VU Manufacturing to respect workers’ choice of union representation, a key tenet of the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) trade pact.
As part of the agreement, Mexico’s government will initiate sanctions proceedings, an action praised by U.S. officials.
