Labor Rights Week, in its 16th edition, is taking place at the Consulate General of Mexico in San Francisco, and in 2024 the motto is \u201cRights, health and working people: The power of collaboration.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the inauguration ceremony held on Monday, August 26 between ten and eleven in the morning, not only the new Mexican consul, Ana Luisa Vallejo, was present, but also representatives of federal and state agencies such as the National Department of Labor Relations and the California Agricultural Labor Board, among others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Referring to the theme of these events, Consul Vallejo said that the objective of the diplomatic representation, during the week, as throughout the year, is to work together with the agencies so that the cases of Mexicans whose rights at work are affected are brought before these authorities and a solution can be found.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Vallejo, it is imperative and urgent that his fellow citizens who live and work in the Bay Area know what their rights are, regardless of their immigration status.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

"We want them to know that they can count on the Consulate as a safe space," said the diplomat, for example: if they have done a job and have not been paid, and are afraid to complain; or if they are injured and are not paid what they are owed, she stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n
