Mexican lawmakers are set to discuss a proposal that gives a minimum wage and other benefits to drivers and couriers working for companies such as Uber Technologies Inc., Didi Global Inc and Rappi Inc.
President Claudia Sheinbaum submitted to Congress late Tuesday a proposal to reform Mexico’s labor law to ensure that workers earn a salary in line with the minimum wage “regardless of the demand for the services,” according to a summary of the bill compiled by Congress and seen by Bloomberg News. The bill will also require that companies register and cover their employees’ social security benefits, including health services, work risk insurance and retirement savings.
Mexico’s ruling party, Morena, has large majorities in both houses of Congress. The legislative body has already approved a series of constitutional changes, including reforms to the judiciary, changes to the energy sector, and a project that guarantees increases to the minimum wage. The bill also calls for workers to participate in the profit sharing of the companies, and that these companies publish their annual earnings reports to “ensure greater transparency.” The companies must also respect “reasonable limits on working hours.”
