Canada to pursue labour complaint with Mexico under the North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation

The Canadian NAO [National Administrative Office of The North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation] found that the events that occurred at the two garment factories [Matamoros Garment & Tarrant Mexico in Puebla, Mexico] raise concerns about the union registration process, the impartiality and independence of labour boards, workers' access to information about their collective agreements, and the protection of workers from dismissal for organizing a union... [The Maquila Solidarity Network, the United Students Against Sweatshops, and the Centro de Apoyo al Trabajador] allege that the violations presented in this public communication are symptoms of a "systemic problem in the enforcement of labor law in Mexico." [also refers to Kukdong International Mexico]
