| A pregnancy or HIV/AIDS test I have never seen...seems very odd for an outfit like Interlingua. |
The HIV/AIDS test I had to do was for a company not a language school. And that was for a job that was only to last six months to a year. They did pay for it but the results were forwarded to the company not me (talk about no privacy). The company called with the results and told me I could work for them.
The results were all clear! Oh happy day! Still not sure the why behind that test.I wasn't even on their payrol and was receiving no benefits (receiving no benefits is typical in teching EFL). |

Having lived in Mexico off and for for the last 20+ years I have noticed vast changes in this area. I agree there is a lot to be desired, but progress is being made. I also see a lot of difference between hiring practices in Mexico City and other places, as well as programs in place here, such as unemployment, and social programs, that are not in place in other places. It�s very uneven, and really, federal changes are needed, but even then, they have to be implimented. |

Mexico's Federal Labor Law is stronger than US law in many ways. The big difference is there is little to no enforcement of said laws in Mexico.
It means little or nothing if all the laws and regulations on paper are just that. Paper laws with no enforcement mechanisms. |

Having lived in Mexico City off and on for the last 13 years I haven't noticed and real, good changes in the labor laws.  |
