Mexico's government has reached a preliminary agreement with business groups and labor organizations to pursue a constitutional reform reducing the standard workweek from 48 to 40 hours, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Wednesday.
Sheinbaum said the measure will advance "gradually" and only through "broad consensus" between employers, unions, and the federal government. The details stem from more than 40 technical roundtables held since June with over 2,000 representatives from companies, labor groups, academics, and policy specialists.
