If industries reduce staff by relocating production lines outside of Baja California due to tariff uncertainty, they must compensate those workers who lose their jobs as a result.
This was stated by the Secretary of Political Action of the Autonomous Confederation of Workers and Employees of Mexico in Baja California (Catem), Plácido Lira Villada, who acknowledged that such a measure is potentially visible given the economic and political situation with the United States.
The Secretary of Political Action of Catem Baja California, Lira Villada, stated that collective groups and unions will be monitoring the effects that the tariff issue will have on employment in the region.
Furthermore, he specified that there are "indications" that may inform employees if their workplace is about to make a decision such as closing ranks or moving production lines outside the state.
If a company chooses to leave, he explained, it begins to deduct work days, proportionally withdraw benefits, and reduce working hours and days, which are common symptoms or have been seen in the past.
