LATAM Quarterly Newsletter

In this LATAM regional quarterly newsletter, we review the latest changes in labour law across selected Latin American countries, including, for the first time, Uruguay.

Since the previous update last year, the employment and labour landscape in the region has continued its rapid pace of change, with notable developments in several countries.  

In particular, we see developments in the area of workplace harassment and discrimination, with key updates from both Chile and Colombia. Meanwhile Peru and Mexico grapple with issues arising from the digitalisation of work, including teleworking and digital platform work. Elsewhere, political change continues to underpin employment and labour developments, with the governments of Argentina and Uruguay seeking to realise their visions for labour reform.  

Our experts explore these developments and many others, including adjustments to interest on labour debts in Brazil and a controversial Supreme Court ruling in Venezuela on the value of the mandatory food benefit.
