WASHINGTON – The United States and Mexico today announced a course of remediation at Transportista KAMU, S. de R.L. de C.V. (KAMU or the company), formerly known as Liber Gennesys, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Liber Gennesys), located in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, which provides cross-border transportation services. This announcement marks the eleventh time the United States and Mexico have agreed on a formal course of remediation in a case under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement’s (USMCA) Rapid Response Labor Mechanism (RRM).
The course of remediation details a plan to remedy violations of Mexican law at the facility and includes measures aimed at ensuring freedom of association and collective bargaining rights are protected at the facility moving forward.
Under the course of remediation, the Government of Mexico will ensure that KAMU takes various remedial actions, including to:
- Reinstate three workers with full backpay and benefits or pay full severance to the workers, based on their respective preferences;
- Develop a facility access protocol that allows the petitioning union, Sindicato de Transportistas de la Cadenas de Suministro (SITRABICS), to exercise its rights and perform its duties;
- Expunge disciplinary records of workers who faced direct reprisals by the company;
- Implement and train all company personnel on its neutrality statement and guidelines related to freedom of association and collective bargaining, including a zero-tolerance policy for violations;
- Inform workers about the denial of rights at the facility by conducting meetings and posting notices at the facility to acknowledge KAMU’s unlawful and interfering practices and affirm the company’s intention to respect workers’ rights in the future;
- Review the current collective bargaining agreement to remove any unlawful provisions;
- Rescind any company rules or human resources instructions that discourage workers from communicating with reinstated workers or SITRABICS affiliates;
- Install and publicize a complaint mechanism through which workers can report violations of their rights and breaches of company policies anonymously and confidentially; and
- Maintain on the company website and in any internal communications platform the neutrality statement and guidelines, collective bargaining agreement, training materials, and information about complaint mechanisms maintained by the company and Government of Mexico, such that the information is easily accessible to workers.
Under the course of remediation, the Government of Mexico will:
- Monitor the facility with regard to the obligations of the course of remediation and compliance with Mexican laws related to freedom of association and collective bargaining;
- Conduct in-person training that is structured to ensure all workers understand their right to freedom of association and collective bargaining and how to exercise it, including by informing workers of the denial of rights at the facility and educating workers on the conciliation process available to any dismissed worker;
- Conduct separate workers’ rights training for supervisors, human resources and labor relations personnel, and other high-level and “trusted” officials; and
- Maintain a direct email address, reporting platform, and telephone line for workers to anonymously report any potential acts of unlawful interference or other violations of freedom of association and collective bargaining rights, and timely investigate any allegations.
The United States and Mexico agreed to establish a deadline of February 13, 2026 to complete the course of remediation.
Background
The United States Trade Representative and the Secretary of Labor co-chair the Interagency Labor Committee for Monitoring and Enforcement (ILC). On June 12, 2025, the ILC received an RRM petition from the Secretary General of SITRABICS, a Mexican labor union, and Rethink Trade at the American Economic Liberties Project. The petition alleged that Liber Gennesys, now known as KAMU, had violated workers’ rights by using intimidation and harassment to discourage workers from supporting the SITRABICS union and had dismissed workers due to union activity. The ILC reviews RRM petitions that it receives, and the accompanying information, within 30 days. The ILC determined that there was sufficient, credible evidence of a denial of rights enabling the good faith invocation of enforcement mechanisms.
As a result, on July 14, 2025, the United States submitted a request that Mexico review the matter. Mexico agreed to conduct a review and concluded a denial of rights had occurred at the facility. Subsequently, the United States and Mexico agreed on a course of remediation.
