Mexico's Secretary of Labor, Marath Bolaños, had barely finished his presentation at the Senate's Labor and Social Security Committee when the legislators unanimously approved the bill to reform the Federal Labor Law on digital platforms.

With this, they are heading towards the proposal that indicates that digital platform companies are prohibited from:

• The collection of fees from workers for registration, use, separation or similar concepts related to the employment relationship.
• The work of minors.
• The withholding of money from workers in addition to the concepts established in the Law.
• Concealment or simulation that seeks to distort the employment relationship through civil, commercial or other contracts.
• The provision of services involving the provision of one's own personnel for the benefit of another natural or legal person.
• Manipulating the income of workers to avoid their classification as subordinate workers of digital platforms.

It also establishes sanctions ranging from 250 to 25,000 times the Measurement and Update Unit (UMA) when the contract model is not registered in terms of the law; when changes are not issued or reported in the algorithmic management policy document; and when the provisions on payments or records are violated.

The Secretary of Labor, Marath Bolaños, explained at the meeting of the Senate Committees that the reform project will benefit about 658,000 workers, according to data from the Tax Administration Service (SAT), of which 272,000 have incomes of at least one monthly minimum wage.

She also said that the initiative is the result of dialogue, analysis and consultations with various institutions and organizations. “The dialogue took place with the main workers' organizations, and also with companies.”

The approved resolution was sent to the Senate Board of Directors so that it can be discussed and voted on in the Senate Plenary.
