MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico on Wednesday said it would begin a review of labor practices at a General Motors (NYSE:GM) plant in central Mexico after a formal complaint from the office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR).

Mexico's economy and labor ministries said in a statement they had received the USTR's request for the Mexican government to "conduct a review of the alleged denial of rights to workers at the General Motors plant in Silao, Guanajuato."

Mexican authorities have ordered GM's union in the city of Silao to repeat a worker vote over their collective contract after detecting numerous "irregularities" in the initial process last month.

I’ve witnessed before where automation was mothballed and production moved to low wage countries. Don’t think the opposite can’t happen. Mexico needs jobs, not unions.
Let those Mexicans unionize!!
Exactly, then the production can return to the US and be performed by robots. The laid off Mexicans can then get jobs at resorts catering to American tourists.
