In light of the imminent legislative debate to reduce the working week from 48 to 40 hours in Mexico, José Ambe, CEO of Logística de México (LDM) , warned that the logistics sector must prepare for the impact by accelerating technological and operational investments.
The reform, which seeks to align working conditions with international standards, has begun to generate concerns in various productive sectors in the country.
Although it has not yet been approved, the proposal proposes a gradual implementation , which will open up opportunities for dialogue within business chambers and associations.
“We’re going to begin a possible reduction in working hours, and this will be gradual. According to what we’ve been told, various forums will begin to take place in chambers and associations,” Ambe said.
The executive emphasized that this transformation cannot go unnoticed, as it will directly affect logistics operations.
“It will force us to significantly accelerate our investments in companies in areas such as technology, productivity, data, and visibility,” he emphasized.
He also noted that this new pressure comes on top of other factors already facing companies in the sector , such as the tightening tariff environment, compliance with international treaties, and the country’s political and economic uncertainty.
“This will certainly be an issue that we, as companies and industries, must closely monitor and ensure we can mitigate the impact,” he said.
