Last April, the constitutional points committee of the House of Representatives implemented an important reform of the labor code. The reform, which had to be ratified, was supported by 27 votes in favor and only 5 abstentions. The reform is aimed at replacing Article 123 of the Mexican political constitution, which focuses on working hours. Thanks to this change, the mandatory working day was reduced from 48 to 40 hours, as well as rest days were extended from one to two days.
