Mexico and the United States are deeply connected by trade, with very close ties in the automotive industry. In mid-May, the sector started to reopen in Mexico after pressure from lobbying groups on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement took effect on July 1, 2020. It requires the auto industry to standardize workers\u2019 salaries and use more materials that come from the three countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miguel Barbeyto, Mazda Mexico\u2019s president and CEO, said the company is getting ready for that, while dealing with protocols around the pandemic. \u201cSo, we need to work hard,\u201d Barbeyto said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But unions are concerned about current working conditions in auto plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benedicto Mart\u00ednez is a coordinator of Frente Aut\u00e9ntico del Trabajo, one of the unions in Mexico with members in the automotive industry. He said unions are watching the pandemic protocols carefully at factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedro Tello, an economic analyst in Mexico City, said reigniting the auto industry will help normalize the country\u2019s economy. But he points out large companies in Mexico, like automakers, have not received any tax incentives or loans from the federal government, and that the country may lose companies and jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
