Bill to shorten Mexico work week delayed until 2024

A bill to cut the working day in Mexico by eight hours to 40 hours a week is unlikely to be approved this year, pushing debate on it back into early 2024 when Congress reconvenes, five lawmaking sources involved in discussions told Reuters. The constitutional overhaul has met resistance from business and the center-right opposition National Action Party, and this week President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador signalled it might not pass this month by urging Congress to further analyze it. Congress ends its current session on Dec. 13 and resumes on Feb. 1.
