From the notice

pbrouillette Fri, 10/23/2026 - 16:06 WASHINGTON, The United States today announced the successful resolution of the USMCA Rapid Response Labor Mechanism (RRM) matter at the Amphenol Optimize México, S.A. de C.V. (Amphenol) facility located in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, which manufactures automotive and aerospace connectors, cables, and components. The United States and Mexico agreed on a course of remediation to address labor rights violations occurring at the facility, including employer interference in union activity and retaliatory dismissals of workers. That plan has now been implemented, and the Denial of Rights concerns raised in the U.S. request for review have been remediated. As a result, the United States Trade Representative has directed the Secretary of the Treasury to resume liquidation of unliquidated entries of goods from the facility. Actions taken by the facility to address the matter include: Reinstating nine workers with full backpay and benefits; Implementing a neutrality statement and guidelines related to the freedom of association and collective bargaining; and Installing and publicizing a complaint mechanism through which workers can report violations of their rights and breaches of company policies.
