Plant closings and labor rights

[Excerpt] This report by the Secretariat of the Commission for Labor Cooperation responds to a request from the Council of Ministers for a study of the effects of plant closings on the principle of freedom of association and the right to organize in the three countries that negotiated the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC). In February 1996, the Council of Ministers called for this report following ministerial consultations initiated by Mexico on a plant closing that occurred in the United States during a union organizing campaign. This is the first special report by the Secretariat under Article 14 of the NAALC, which provides for special reports on any matter as the Council may request

Labor Relations Law in North America

[Excerpt] In establishing their Agreement on Labor Cooperation as a complement to the North American Free Trade Agreement, the governments of Canada, the United States and Mexico accepted the fact that each nation had evolved a different system of labor law and administration. They agreed that those systems should continue to evolve independently within each sovereign jurisdiction. But they also recognized the extremely important fact that these three systems were based on underlying principles which were held in common and which could be articulated. These are the 11 Labor Principles of the NAALC. Each principle defines a sector of labor law, which is given concrete expression by the statutes and jurisprudence of the different jurisdictions. The parties to the NAALC undertake solemn obligations to ensure that their laws in these sectors are effectively enforced. Thus all competitors in the North American Free Trade area will operate under the law in regard to labor matters, administered openly and consistently. Such is a major objective of the NAALC. The objective of this publication by the Commission for Labor Cooperation is to enable the public at large in North America, and not just specialists in comparative labor law, to know simply and clearly what those different labor law regimes are and how they are administered. The NAALC relies primarily on the public to draw attention to any deficiencies which may occur in regard to labor law administration. It is thus imperative that the public have ready access to the content of the laws and how they are meant to apply, organized following the schema of the NAALC

The hepatitis B virus represents one of the most frequent viral infections worldwide due to its easy transmission, in addition to this, its association with autoimmune pathologies has been found. This work will allow us to know the best treatment and most appropriate diagnostic method for its favorable clinical resolution. This systematic review was prepared in the database of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The search was limited to studies carried out in humans, full texts, regardless of the language of writing or restriction of country of origin. A total of 133 articles were retrieved in the bibliographic search, of which 11 were excluded because they were duplicates, 71 articles were discarded because they contained brief information or only an ephemeral mention of the topic was made, 15 more were dispensed with in the Full review phase Text, 5 more for not being studies in humans and, finally, 10 opinions and perspectives, from which it was concluded that the treatment should be administered encompassing both pathologies to avoid clinical exacerbationEl virus de la hepatitis B representa una de las infecciones virales más frecuentes a nivel mundial dada su fácil forma de transmisión, aunado a esto, se ha encontrado su asociación a patologías autoinmunes.
