Sheinbaum Signs Decree to Protect 'App' Workers
President Claudia Sheinbaum signs decree to reform Federal Labor Law, aiming to benefit 658,000 'app' workers by formalizing their employment and granting them rights. She also criticizes Genaro García Luna's cynicism in commenting on judicial reform despite his links to drug trafficking.
Morning conferences! Politicians do love their early risers, don’t they? It’s always the same old affair, with someone standing at a podium, announcing some shiny new plan, some ambitious reform, and making the kind of grandiose promises that only sound plausible before noon. Today, it's Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum doing the rounds with her signature mix of gravitas and, well, more gravitas.
First up, Sheinbaum did what any sensible leader would do these days: addressed the plight of the modern “app worker.” You know, those poor souls who spend their days zooming around delivering burritos to people who can’t be bothered to leave the house. She’s signed a decree to finally give these workers the rights they deserve. Well, sort of.
