México-Tesla Agreement: Mutually Beneficial Or One-sided?

March 20, 2023 Rubén Sierra, Council on Hemispheric Affairs. , , ,
On March 1, 2023, México’s President Andres Lopéz Obrador confirmed an agreement with Tesla that allows the electric vehicle company to build the “biggest electric vehicle plant in the world.” The plant, or maquiladora, will be located in the border state of Nuevo León within the industrial hub of Monterrey, México.” The plant will specifically be located in the Santa Catarina municipality. The agreement is governed by the United States-México-Canada Agreement (USMCA), previously known as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The México-Tesla partnership was announced just 10 days after the Mexican president issued an executive order which expedited the nationalization of the country’s lithium reserves.

The organizing drive under way at Tesla Inc.’s plant in South Buffalo is putting a spotlight on one of the region’s largest private employers, and drawing more attention to region for its union activity. The campaign, launched by Tesla Workers United, also marks a new push by Workers United, which has supported organizing efforts by workers at area Starbucks stores. Those workers’ election victories have sparked organizing campaigns at stores across the country. If the effort to organize the RiverBend facility succeeds, it would become Tesla’s first unionized workplace. On Tuesday, the campaign was generating national media attention, given the prominence of its CEO, Elon Musk, and the company itself as an electric vehicle maker.
