Dan Ujczo Quoted by National Post on President Trump’s Signing of USMCA Implementation Bill

Dan Ujczo (Member and Cross-Border Practice Group Chair, Columbus) spoke with National Post regarding President Trump’s signing of the USMCA implementation bill, which was approved by Congress after extensive negotiations with Democrats in the House of Representatives and the U.S. Trade Representative’s office, for an article titled “Trump signs off on USMCA, shifting focus, pressure back to House of Commons.” The changes to the bill negotiated by Democrats allows Mexican workers protections including the right to organize, form, and join the union of their choice, among other measures. 

"In my view, the labour reforms being undertaken in Mexico are the largest labour reforms ever undertaken in North America, including the New Deal in the U.S.,” Dan said. “It is a huge undertaking, and so every Canadian and U.S. company that has operations in Mexico had better get ready for a significant adjustment period on labour and employment issues in Mexico.”
