“The reform does not mandate two rest days per week. […] create the conditions under which a four-day working week becomes practically achievable for the first time for a significant portion of the Mexican workforce.”
Mexico is one of the few countries with only a 1-day weekend, along with:
- Colombia, Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Hong Kong, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Uganda, and India (Sundays);
- Djibouti (only 40h/w tho), Palestine, Iran, and Somalia (Fridays); and
- Nepal (only 42h/w tho) (Saturdays).
Soon Mexico will have to build a wall to keep Americans out.
And make us pay for it!
I think we already built it and paid for it.
Anybody upset about this needs to be upset with their employer. If you need to work over 12 hours a day everyday you’re being severely underpaid. Saying this as a guy that used to do it to survive. My boss would praise me and tell people everyone they needed to be more like me while knowing damn well why I was doing what I was doing. Tried to be the empathetic hand while completely exploiting me.
How did you manage to get out from under them?
Mexico is amending it’s constitution and the US can’t even pass a budget to keep it’s fucking bridges from collapsing. Meanwhile USA calls Mexico a failed state lol.
Pretty soon, Mexico will pay for the wall, to keep illegal Americans out.
4D chess!Wow, their real achieved productivity is gonna go up nicely (if the studies are right about this sort of thing …)
No wonder the CIA is fucking with them.
She needs to reform the US, next.
Honestly, companies have legitimately taken advantage of productivity gains from technology over the last 30+years. We get more done individually now than we ever have before, so companies save millions on effectively having less staff, that’re also paid less due to sharp rises of inflation & CoL.
We should be down to 24 hours a week IMO, because I myself piss away about half my week anyway trying to come up with shit to do! I know others are in similar boats.
I own a company, self employed and I set up my business to only need to do 20 billable hours a week. That covers my wage and insurance costs for myself. Obviously at that I’m not making profit as a business but as an employee I am making a good living
It really opened my eyes to how much businesses fuck their employees and how much value i created for the 13 years i worked for others.
And then there is the rest of us fighting to add more hours to our day just to get through it to massively varied degrees as they are
Wow, what’s your role and how do I get it?
Just like the first industrial revolution. We’re again in a post industrial gilded age.
Can she somehow come to the UK
This answers the question I had, about what happens if a worker does in fact work longer than that.
Employees can work overtime during the workweek, but no more than 12 hours total, with a maximum of four hours on any given day and no more than four overtime days per week.
I wonder what the rules are around having a second job?
