President Claudia Sheinbaum will establish a Labor Committee in the "inner room" of the National Palace for the review of the trade agreement between Mexico, the United States, and Canada (T-MEC), announced the deputy coordinator of Morena in the Chamber of Deputies, Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar. The Committee involves the mandatory consultation of workers in the treaty negotiations, demonstrating the solidarity of the federal government.
In an upcoming trinational meeting with unions from the United States, Canada, and Mexico, there will be a demand for justice for workers, as well as promoting the free transit of goods and products without tariffs and fostering strong cooperation between the three countries. Ramírez Cuéllar emphasized the importance of maintaining free trade to sustain economic stability, attract investments, and achieve projected growth targets.
In the same line, a new generation of labor rights, strengthening health systems, and other rights will be discussed in the trinational workers' meeting on T-MEC that will take place on Saturday, February 15. According to Morena deputy and union leader Napoleón Gómez, this international workers' convention will serve to emphasize union unity in the defense of labor rights against the tariff measures of President Donald Trump.
Gómez expressed his concern about the threats of tariffs and other measures that could negatively affect the economy, production, and job creation in the countries involved in the T-MEC. He highlighted the importance of maintaining a stable economy and ensuring the well-being of workers, reaffirming international solidarity among unions, especially with those in the United States and Canada.
Considering the T-MEC as one of the most significant agreements for trade and economic exchange among the three countries, the deputy emphasized the need for unions to remain vigilant about Trump’s measures that could impact the involved nations. In this regard, he advocated for negotiations against trade barriers, calling for international solidarity among union organizations to face the challenges that arise in labor matters.
