Overview

• The initiative, filed in the CDMX Congress by a Morena deputy identified in reports as Leonor Gómez Otegi or Lorena Otegui, would require temporary remote work when heavy rains or floods impede safe commuting.
• It seeks to reform Article 57 and add Article 68 bis to the Federal Labor Law to formalize telework during climate-driven disruptions.
• The draft enshrines a right to digital disconnection, stating workers would not be obliged to answer calls or messages outside working hours except in justified emergencies.
• The sponsor cites recurring storm-related failures of the Metro, Metrobús, Tren Ligero and even airport operations as motivation, mentioning roughly 400 inundations a year as a claim.
• Because it proposes a federal reform, the plan must be debated locally before being sent to the national Congress for committee review, potential modifications and votes, and it remains at the proposal stage.
