Although the initiative of reform of the Federal Labor Law (LFT) for the reduction of the work week from 48 hours to 40 hours has been the legislative issue that has raised the most expectations, not only in workers in the formal sector, but in Mexican citizens in general, the discussion of this in the Congress of the Union has been postponed.
