The United States and Mexico announced a memorandum of understanding concerning labor rights at the Industrias Tecnos, S.A. de C.V. facility in Cuernavaca, Morelos. The company manufactures small arms ammunition.
The agreement sets out measures to remedy violations of Mexican law and protect freedom of association and collective bargaining. Mexico will ensure the company verifies and pays any wages or benefits owed to workers unlawfully dismissed.
Industrias Tecnos is to train its personnel on workers’ rights, adopt a zero-tolerance policy for violations and establish a confidential channel for anonymous complaints. The company must also make its guidelines, training materials and complaint information accessible to workers.
