USTR 依据 USMCA 快速响应机制要求墨西哥审查 Madobox 涉嫌侵犯工人权利
United States Seeks Mexico’s Review of Alleged Denial of Workers’ Rights at Madobox
USTR 依据 USMCA 快速响应劳工机制(RRM)要求墨西哥审查 Madobox, S.A. de C.V. 位于米却肯州 Uruapan 的工厂是否侵犯工人结社自由与集体谈判权,并已指示财政部长中止该工厂未清算报关货物的 liquidation。此次请求源于 COCENA 下属墨西哥工会于 2026 年 9 月 30 日提交的 RRM 请愿,指控 Madobox 非法安排未经工人参与的集体谈判协议(CBA)、胁迫并误导工人了解 CBA 与工会权利,以及因工会活动非法解雇工人。ILC 在 30 天内完成审查后认定存在充分可信的侵权证据,足以善意启动 USMCA 执法机制。

WASHINGTON — The Office of the United States Trade Representative has invoked the Rapid Response Labor Mechanism (RRM) in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to review whether workers at Madobox, S.A. de C.V. (Madobox), located in the city of Uruapan in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, are being denied the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining. The U.S. request for review follows an RRM petition received from a Mexican labor union alleging that Madobox is interfering with union activity at the facility. The United States has suspended liquidation of unliquidated entries of goods from the Madobox facility, which produces boxes for commercial use.
Background
The United States Trade Representative (Trade Representative) and the Secretary of Labor co-chair the Interagency Labor Committee for Monitoring and Enforcement (ILC). On September 30, 2026, the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores y Empleados de la Industria del Comercio, Alimenticia, Textil, Automotriz, Metalúrgica, Servicios y Distribución “Generalísimo José María Morelos y Pavón”—a Mexican labor union affiliated with the Confederacion Central Nacional (COCENA)—filed a Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) petition alleging a denial of rights at Madobox. The petition alleges that Madobox is interfering with union activity at the facility, including by unlawfully arranging a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that was negotiated without workers, by coercing and misinforming workers about the CBA and their union rights, and by unlawfully dismissing workers in retaliation for union activity. The ILC reviews RRM petitions that it receives, and the accompanying information, within 30 days.
After conducting this review, the ILC determined that there is sufficient, credible evidence of a denial of rights enabling the good faith invocation of enforcement mechanisms under the USMCA. As a result, the Trade Representative has submitted a request to Mexico under Annex 31-A of the USMCA that Mexico review whether workers at Madobox are being denied the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining. The Trade Representative has also directed the Secretary of the Treasury to suspend liquidation of unliquidated entries of goods from Madobox.
Mexico has 10 days to agree to conduct a review and, if it agrees, 45 days from today to complete the review.
