Expropriated Mexican Oil Firms Must

Pay Workers

Supreme Court Ruling Compels Indemnification of Dismissed Men; Tax on All Exports Due Mexico City, July 2. IHE Mexican Supreme Court has rejected the expropriated oil companies' appeal against the decision rendered on March 18 by the Federal Junta of Conciliation and Arbitrage, dissolving the labour contracts between the oil companies and their worker:

The Junta's decision was based on the provisions of the Labour Bill advocating the rupture of contracts if the law on labour legislation is not adhered to.

The Junta's decision, confirmed yesterday, compels the companies to indemnify dismissed workers.
