Union win at Mexican auto plant brings new hope for labour rights

Autoworkers in Silao assembled some of the most lucrative pick-up trucks sold in North America, yet earned a fraction of the wages paid to workers in the U.S. and Canada—an imbalance that has contributed to a collective lowering of work standards, hurting workers all across the continent.

In September 2017, Mexico's then-minister of economy Ildefonso Guajardo, left, Canada's then-minister of foreign affairs Chrystia Freeland, and the U.S.'s then-trade representative Robert E. Lighthizer gave a joint statement after the third round of negotiations to rework NAFTA. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
