Jesus, they’ll have a >40 hour work week for 4 more years?
Why so conservative?
NAFTA. They don’t want to be invaded. When the dems decided to completely and utterly finish destroying small town America and created one of the largest decreases in social mobility in US history by giving companies every incentive to move their manufacturing to other countries, those companies started depending on that cheap labor.
We invented Banana Republics for basically the same thing that Mexico is now pushing for, and Mexican politicians at least are educated enough to know that history.
They don’t want to be Venezuela’d or Panama’d Or Ecuador’d. They don’t want the US to give more guns to the cartels to use against the Mexican government like Obama did the last time Mexico got a bit
uppity’lets improve things slightly’y.They figure if they change things slowly enough over time either US companies will adapt, the US will have collapsed, or Americans might wake up and at least put in power an isolationist government.
As a Mexican person, I wish people actually knew how she actually governs. Nice headlines, but holy fuck is it disconnected from reality
As is the case with most pro-labor politicians, the people who are most vocally against them are not the people who will be most helped by them. Those people don’t have time to find niche social media sites to go post on, they’re too busy working.
Lmao. Get on Facebook. Maybe not a niche site, but they definitely have the time to post. Get real bro
Explain please.
Centralizing power. Dismanteling independent regulatory agencies of transparency (INEAI) and COFECE, the federal economic competition commission, basically the antitrust authority. Overhauling the court system to make judges be elected. Using the military as police. Reforming the national electoral institute to now be partisan.
Lack of medicine & supply stocks at hospitals (official figures are always 80%, but many reported cases of lack of vaccines, OTC meds, diabetes meds, chemotherapy.)
Her close ties to narcos, etc. Violence is at an all time high. Corruption is even worse.
The national debt has never in the history of the country been higher. Neither has the deficit.
One thing that party is phenomenal at is bot farms tho.
EDIT: as for this new work reform, 40 hours doesn’t mean 2 days of a week. We will still have to work 6 days a week. Less hours yes ofc … but for many people in CDMX will still have to ride hours on the metro every Saturday.
As I said, reality is very different from the pretty headlines. And basically she totally caved to the business owners
Didn’t she make universal healthcare?
We have had universal healthcare care since the 1940s. 2 separate systems for private workers and another for private workers. What she did was merge them and force us to use an app to access the health system
interesting, okay
What’s, umm, what’s the percent of informal workers in Mexico that are day laborers paid under the table without any formal contract or protection?
Just now catching up to what we have in the states and not until 2030. So nothing amazing here.
I might just be a dumb American but I’m pretty sure most states have none of this.
Which states are you living in m8?Edit replied to the wrong comment whoops
I mean…
and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends
I’d kill for that. Even if it’s legal in the states it definitely still feels like I gotta take calls all hours of the fucking day and night

Amen to that. Where I work it seems to have regressed recently, too.
It hit a point of sanity there, then there was a disruption in management… sigh.
Never had a job that required me to answer after hours and wouldn’t accept one that did.
And for some reason that makes you the sample for the entire population? Or what’s your point?
I mean… I didn’t accept one to begin with, but I’ve been moved into one that that does.
Same happened at mine.
Have you tried…turning off your phone?
In some places that is called a “CLM”, or career-limiting move.
Meaning, a great way to give the powers that be an excuse to fire you.
If they fire you for that, you have a law suit.
They can’t fire you for that
Good luck proving it, LOL.
Didn’t work that way. Cause if I don’t answer I get people who whine tear I never answer my phone, but also simultaneously don’t text me or leave voicemails
Respond saying you answer the phone during work hours
The US has a 40 hour workweek already*, but we don’t have anything about after-hours contact or pay cuts.
*Unless you’re salary exempt, in certain agricultural jobs, or other exceptions.
Which states are you living in m8?
Which states have any of these laws, and of those how many have all of them? If the answer isn’t one, then it’s none. Do better
This has got to be bait.
