Strengthening Government Labor Law Enforcement (SGLLE): Mexico and Honduras

Through its work with the U.S. Department of Labor, AIR is helping Mexico address its most pressing and immediate needs in the transition to the new labor justice system by supporting the government efforts to establish and operate new, more effective labor justice institutions. Similarly, in Honduras, we are supporting the labor inspectorate’s efforts to enforce Honduran labor laws more effectively, transparently, and accountably.

Enhancing Labor Conciliation (ENLACE)

Mexico’s 2017 and 2019 labor justice reforms abolish Mexico’s conciliation and arbitration boards (CABs), the ineffective, inefficient, nontransparent institutions formerly serving as the country’s main arbiter of labor justice. AIR and our partner, the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM), are implementing the ILAB-funded ENLACE project to increase the effectiveness of the new labor conciliation centers at the federal level and in 16 states.
