Yucatán creates first state labor inspection unit to boost workplace safety
Yucatán will establish its first Labor Inspection Unit with state competence after a collaboration agreement between the Secretaría de Economía y Trabajo (SETY) and the Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS). The agreement sets out joint coordination to monitor compliance with labor legislation, improve safety, health and hygiene in workplaces, and shift inspection toward orientation and prevention rather than sanction.
The pact includes specialized training for SETY staff, exchange of expertise and technical assistance from STPS. Secretary of Economy and Labor Ermilo Barrera Novelo noted that Yucatán was the only Mexican state lacking labor inspectors and highlighted the historic debt being addressed under Governor Joaquín Díaz Mena. STPS chief Alejandro Salafranca Vázquez will train the first generation of state inspectors and discussed a proposal to reduce the workday to 40 hours. Business representatives, including CMIC president Felipe Alberto Canul Moguel, affirmed that economic growth must be paired with respect for labor rights and a culture of prevention.
