Abstract

[Excerpt] Our findings suggest that workers at facilities that have undergone RRM (Rapid Response Mechanism) enforcement activities are more aware of their labor rights and procedures than workers at facilities that have not undergone RRM enforcement activities. There are various reasons for that disparate awareness, including but not limited to the worker-level training that workers received within the framework of RRM enforcement versus the union-level training that the U.S. Department of Labor conducted throughout Mexico. Nevertheless, neither workers at RRM facilities nor facilities that had not participated in RRM enforcement tended to be as knowledgeable about the labor law reforms, the process to approve their collective bargaining agreements, and union election procedures as commonly presupposed in the current trade and labor discourse.
