    Claudia rocks!

    Still, it’s important to consider that it means reducing the workweek from 48 to 40 hours, and making at least 1 day a week off by 2030. So, in 3,5 years, Mexico will finally get what is considered to be standard elsewhere.

    I’m saying that not because it’s not great news, but because there’s still a very long way to go.

      Germany has 48 hours but this is a maximum by law. Normally contracts are 35-40. Yet this news is important as germany’s chancellor seeks to increase those times and calls everyone lazy while even mexico cares more about their workers.
