UPDATE 1-Trilateral labor panel rules in favor of Mexico in mine case

A labor panel under the trilateral trade agreement between the U.S., Mexico and Canada has ruled in favor of Mexico, which argued the agreement did not have the jurisdiction to review alleged labor rights violations at a mine in the country, Mexico said on Friday. The U.S. had requested a probe last year into alleged workers rights abuses at a Grupo Mexico mine in the central state of Zacatecas. Mexico argued the USMCA trade pact did not apply, as the issues at the mine had been occurring since before the pact went into effect in 2020.
