United States seeks Mexico’s review of alleged denial of workers’ rights at Yazaki facility

WASHINGTON – The United States has invoked the Rapid Response Labor Mechanism (RRM) in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to review whether workers at Grupo Yazaki, S.A. de C.V., located in the city of Leon in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, are being denied the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining. The United States has suspended liquidation of unliquidated entries of goods into this country from the Yazaki facility, which manufactures automotive components, wire harnesses, and electronic components.
