A group of Mexican women migrants has filed a complaint accusing the U.S. government of violating a trade agreement by failing to enforce gender discrimination laws in temporary labor programs. The complaint alleges that women were being channeled into lower-paying jobs or excluded altogether from the H-2 visa program, which is for temporary seasonal workers in agriculture and other industries. The complaint asserts that ongoing sex discrimination constitutes a breach in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA.
