Mexico City labor services recover more than 5 billion pesos for workers
Mexico City’s labor department says workers recovered more than 5 billion pesos between October 2024 and August 2026.
The recovery came under a new labor justice system that offers conciliation and legal support to workers.
The city’s Labor Conciliation Center recorded more than 915,000 service contacts and formalized 76,730 agreements before cases went to court.
The labor defense office handled 78,553 cases, including support for women facing workplace or sexual violence and for domestic workers.
Labor inspectors made 1,866 visits to protect 143,112 jobs, and authorities issued 977 rulings against employers and collected more than 116 million pesos in fines.
The department also helped place more than 50,000 people in formal jobs and provided unemployment support to 1,308 beneficiaries.
The figures show how the system combines dispute resolution, enforcement and employment support for workers in the capital.
