I had to execute a contract with a supplier in Mexico recently and they have a law (REPSE) that means you cannot engage a sub contractor when instead there’s a reasonable argument that you could employ them instead.
It’s to protect an empire being manipulated and not receive benefits. They really do look out for their employee rights which is great to see
This is how serious countrys operate.
They needed the wall built first to cut themselves off from the riffraff
can we get her to be the PM of more countries pls
I thought I read theyre cutting work hours from 48 to 40. Not good enough imo. Thats what were at and still burned out.
Maximum working hours* which is not the same.
Americans sign up for jobs at 40 and if they’re salaried they almost all work at least 45, and are then expected to be contacted out of work.
Word. I had a job that promised no more than 40 and my manager offered unofficial comp time for any overage. Then the economy slowed and they wanted to downsize, so fired me for working less than 40 hours one week a few months before.
Be honest, that’s not where millions of Americans are. 3 jobs, no overtime, ludicrous living costs is where many Americans are.
Don’t let perfect be enemy of the good.
Agreed. Shes done a hell of a lot more for her constituents than our politicians.
It’s worse than that. They’re reducing 2 hours per year until they reach 40, but they’re keeping six work days per week.
Can’t wait for American illegal immigrants to get deported from Mexico
That’s already a problem in Mexico. American immigrants have been moving to the nice parts of Mexico, and they have been inflating the ever living fuck out of the prices there. American money is unmatched, and no Mexican business is going to dumb enough to let it slip by. They’ve been increasing prices and catering to Americans to the point where Mexicans are being squeezed out entirely from the equation.
There are parts of Mexico city where Mexicans are completely priced out. People with houses in the nice parts try to sell them to Americans to get more money. Developers are building condo buildings that cater to American styles, and they’re entirely branded and marketed in English. Businesses in the area notice the increase in Americans walking around and jack up their prices to get a share of the pie themselves, which leads Americans to get another part of the city that’s still cheap to get the most out of their money repeating the cycle. Americans have already been doing this to countries like Spain, Portugal, and Italy, but now they’re doing it to Mexico too.
theoretically, the whole population should be able to profit from the influx of money if it’s properly distributed. that seems to me to be more an issue with taxation than with overtourism.
Damn, here I thought I was making a bad joke, but reality seems to be a bad joke these days.
That’s the beauty of the Mexican project. They’re going to accommodate the refugees in a way Americans refused to do. And they’re going to become a better country for it
Hopefully, Mexico will actually achieve the American Dream, rather than being dragged into a nightmare by their capitalists.
Holy shit. Claudia my queen
Impressive.
we need more social populism. this is a good example of it.
Just look at the awful things a woman president will do.
Let’s pretend the Queen of England didn’t just finally fuck off or all the other female authoritarians/war criminals, let’s remove her agency and attribute any good she does to being a woman.
It’s more sexist than the implication itself.
Margaret Thatcher was UK’s Reagan. Everything she didn’t ruin herself; she readied to be ruined later.
It wasn’t because she was a woman. It was because she was a freaking neoliberal.
It’s also just really fucking annoying that this platitude comes up every time a headline is posted about a woman doing good, as if people are just incapable of thinking it through.
Neither Clinton nor Harris would have supported this, and in fact, they’d have told their rotating villains to oppose it and claimed powerlessness, as Dems always do. (Which is, in part, why they lost their elections.)
bUt SeXiSm
Okay, run an actual leftist woman and isolate the variables.
I personally think they care way more about losing money and influence than hating women.
The misogyny is just a side gig.
Soon Mexico will have to build a wall to keep Americans out.
As an American, I would love to move to Mexico. I have brought up the idea with my family but there are reasons to stay currently.
A bit late that,
And make us pay for it!
I think we already built it and paid for it.
You lot got uno reversed hard on that one.
Nah americans are too poor and tired to move.
And many too racist to even think about it, also too 'Murica brained to think any other place can be better.
“The reform does not mandate two rest days per week. […] create the conditions under which a four-day working week becomes practically achievable for the first time for a significant portion of the Mexican workforce.”
Mexico is one of the few countries with only a 1-day weekend, along with:
- Colombia, Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Hong Kong, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Uganda, and India (Sundays);
- Djibouti (only 40h/w tho), Palestine, Iran, and Somalia (Fridays); and
- Nepal (only 42h/w tho) (Saturdays).
But wait…who is gonna pay for it…sorry American here its a habit.
Mexico is amending it’s constitution and the US can’t even pass a budget to keep it’s fucking bridges from collapsing. Meanwhile USA calls Mexico a failed state lol.
its, not it’s.
tits
Its, not “its”.
Name checks out.
You mean pass a bill to borrow more money, to keep the bridges from collapsing.
The government used to tax rich people to fund infrastructure. Now it borrows from them like a crack head at a pay-day-loan shop.
You mean pass a bill to fund genocide with bridge money.
Those are usually earmarked on the back of “save the children” bills
Well, Americans are too cowardly to start breaking shit (and bones). What do you expect?
Don’t know where all the 2015-20 riot energy went.
Even that energy was pretty fucking weak considering the situation. It would have been insufficient even in the face of Bush-era GOP misbehavior.
No wonder the CIA is fucking with them.
The billionaires are freaking out
Mi español es muy limitado, but I’m ready to go.
Anybody upset about this needs to be upset with their employer. If you need to work over 12 hours a day everyday you’re being severely underpaid. Saying this as a guy that used to do it to survive. My boss would praise me and tell people everyone needed to be more like me while knowing damn well why I was doing what I was doing. Tried to be the empathetic hand while completely exploiting me.
How did you manage to get out from under them?
I did it the hard way. Job hopping! I’m in IT without a degree (I have certs now but didn’t when I started). I have years of experience because I took entry level positions but had gaps in my knowledge due to not having a formal education. I started finding jobs that I had 80% of the know how from previous employers specifically. The pay would always be low for what I was doing, but it was a trade off since I had things to learn. I had to look for companies that weren’t willing to pay top dollar for IT so they’d be willing to ignore my lack of experience on some things.
After landing the job, I’d focus on that 20% specifically for resume bullet points. After 1 year (very important to stay for at least 1 year!), I’d evaluate. Sometimes I’d jump ship taking along with me any references, promotions (job titles are important folks), and certs I could along the way. Sometimes I’d stay longer than a year depending on what was happening. The pay was never right so I knew I wasn’t going to stay.
Most of these places were small to medium sized, toxic, unprofessional, and had high attrition rates.
After years of that, I started landing positions mostly based on the network I built of professional references. I have professional friends that help me out that are higher up on the latter and I have ones that I help / bring up with me that are below me on the latter.
Being honest, this was not the easy way by far and I don’t even know if you could still do what I did.
Today though, I have steady employment working for a large organization. My pay is good but not great. I’m not rich but I can make rent and have some left over for savings working only 40 hours a week. Really that’s all I ever wanted! I’m still working on my career but I’m happy I don’t have to do it while killing myself to not starve anymore!
Well congrats on the place you’ve managed to get to. Thanks for sharing

I’ve been pro union for a long time, that’s true but why did you feel you needed to respond to me literally asking about someone’s specific and personal pathway to a better situation?
Your comment is unappreciated as it is completely out of place
You’re right, meant to respond elsewhere.
