  • the pro-worker movement has been quite vocal for a long time on many different issues but the business organizations have been pushing the narrative that more rights for worker will damage the economy, which governments have been supporting.

    when amlo won, many pro-worker activists got more vocal and some were able to get closer to the government, making some good material changes (increase the minimum salary, having 12 days of vacation per year, having a fucking chair in your workplace) but amlo was very clear that 40 h/week kill not happen during his term. due to this, the movement got way more intense, even getting violent towards the government to increase the pressure.

    sheimbaum said that it was confirmed to happen during her term but she has been stalling the discussion while “discussing with the corporations” since then. it looks like the pressure finally made effect.

    i am not very close to these events so i might have gotten something wrong or misrepressented something but tldr this was a workers won despite the government, not thanks to it.
