USTR: United States Concludes Labor Case at Mexico Auto Parts Facility
March 17, 2026/
The United States announced the resolution of a labor enforcement case under the US Mexico Canada Agreement involving a manufacturing facility in San Luis Potosi. Following a review process led by federal agencies, authorities determined that corrective actions taken by the company and the Government of Mexico addressed concerns related to worker representation and organizing rights. As a result, trade measures that had been applied to goods from the facility have now been lifted.
The case originated from a formal complaint submitted by labor organizations alleging that workers faced interference and retaliation when attempting to organize. After assessing the evidence, United States officials initiated a formal review with Mexico. Mexican authorities conducted an investigation and worked with the company to implement remedies, including compensation for affected workers and new policies to protect freedom of association.
After evaluating the outcome of these actions, the United States determined that the issues had been satisfactorily resolved and that there is no ongoing denial of worker rights at the facility.
