Resumen

Mexico, D.F. – Today, United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Canada and Centro de los Derechos del Migrante (CDM) simultaneously filed public communications to denounce the United States and Canada for violating principles of the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC). CDM and UFCW Canada are leaders in defending temporary workers, and submitted the complaints with the support of a transnational network of allies. Both complaints are supported by dozens of organizations, including Global Workers Justice Alliance, Sin Fronteras, and Voces Mesoamericanas. In addition, the AFL-CIO, North Carolina Justice Center, and other organizations are co-petitioners in the complaint against the United States. The complaints contend that the governments of the United States and Canada have failed to comply with their obligations to defend the principle of non-discrimination in employment and to ensure the implementation of their own labor laws.
