Mexican president presents bill to ban outsourcing of jobs
MEXICO CITY (AP) — President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Thursday that he will propose legislation to Mexico's congress that would ban subcontracting or outsourcing of jobs by private companies, except with government authorization.
The proposal says personnel, staffing or temp companies can help private firms recruit, select or train workers, but cannot be listed as their employer.
The bill would allow subcontract workers to provide “specialized services or carry out specialized projects that are not part of a company's line of business,” but only with approval from the Labor Department.
Labor Secretary Luisa Maria Alcalde estimated the outsourced or subcontracted workforce in Mexico grew from about 1 million workers in 2003 to about 4.6 million by 2018.
