MEXICO CITY, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Mexico’s government said on Wednesday that companies had agreed to adhere to the spirit of planned legislation limiting the use of third party contractual labor, as part of a deal that gives firms more time to adapt before the law is passed.
The announcement confirmed a letter seen by Reuters that said congressional debate on the proposed law was now set to begin in February.
The legislation has fueled fears in the business community about a sudden jump in costs after their worst year in decades amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
