Résumé

The U.S. National Administrative Office gives notice that on April 15, 1994, Submission #940001 was accepted for review. The Submission was filed with the Office on February 14, 1994, by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), AFL-CIO, and concerns the operations of an employer in Chihuahua, Mexico. The allegations of the Submission relate principally to the right of freedom of association and the right to organize. Article 16(3) of the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC) provides for the review of labor law matters in Canada and Mexico by the U.S. National Administrative Office. The objective of the review of the Submission will be to gather information to assist the U.S. National Administrative Office to better understand and publicly report on the Government of Mexico's promotion of compliance with, and effective enforcement of, its labor law through appropriate government action, as set out in Article 3 of the NAALC.
