The company dedicated to the global distribution of avocado products in Uruapan, Michoacán, carried out several repair actions in coordination with the Ministry of Labor.
The results of Mexico’s investigation determined the existence of actions by RV Fresh Foods that could constitute violations of Mexican labor laws and a denial of rights.
There was evidence of employer interference in union affairs, as the union (COCENA) was restricted from carrying out activities within the company and intervened in the process of electing union delegates.
In response to this, consultations were held in good faith between the governments of Mexico and the United States to agree on a Reparation Plan, which was completed in a timely manner on June 14.
Following the Reparation Plan, neither the company nor the authority were aware of any new complaints or claims regarding the rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining at the RV Fresh Foods facility.
“Mexico and the United States concluded that the facts that were the subject of the request for review under the MLRR (Facility-Specific Labor Rapid Response Mechanism) have been resolved,” the Mexican agencies said.
