Labor disputes in Mexico are governed by the Federal Labor Law. They address issues like unfair dismissals, wage theft, and unsafe working conditions, protecting employee rights. The 2023 reforms enhanced the Federal Conciliation and Arbitration Board, resolving 30% more cases through mandatory mediation before trials, reducing delays. Conflicts are mediated, securing settlements—e.g., a client won back pay in 60 days after an unjust termination. Understanding appeal processes—filed within 30 days—is key, as is knowing workplace safety standards under NOM-030-STPS. Employers must provide written contracts, and violations can lead to fines up to 500,000 pesos.
