The Mexican Association of Private Security Companies (Amesp) has expressed support for President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo's commitment to ensuring that labor authorities review compliance with the Federal Labor Law in the private security sector. This review will specifically focus on work shift arrangements that have been a point of contention, particularly the 24-hour shifts that are often in violation of current labor laws.

In a recent statement, Amesp highlighted the necessity for the federal government to address and rectify public contracting practices that currently contradict existing labor regulations concerning work hours. This comes in response to President Sheinbaum's announcement during her press briefing, where she indicated plans to request the Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS) to scrutinize the operational models employed by private security guards, acknowledging that many of these models are incompatible with labor laws.

Amesp considers the presidential stance on these issues to be crucial for advancing labor rights within the private security sector, signaling a potential shift towards more humane working conditions and compliance with labor laws. The implications of this statement could lead to significant changes in how security personnel are contracted and managed, ensuring better alignment with legal standards and potentially improving the overall industry practices.
