Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends, in the most significant overhaul of Mexican labor law in a generation.

Mexico has rewritten its constitution to guarantee every worker in the country a shorter working week, a legal right to switch off from work after hours, and a guarantee that no employer can cut their pay in response, enacting in a single legislative package a set of labor rights that workers in wealthier countries have spent decades campaigning for without success.

Hockey Drama ‘Pink Light’ Tackles Transgender Athlete Debate for “Villainizing the Community”  

Harrison Browne’s directorial debut, about a former pro hockey player time traveling back to his pre-transition past, has a world premiere at TIFF: “It’s really important to show trans athletes as people.”

Harrison Browne, the first-ever publicly transgender pro hockey player, now has the challenge of boosting trans representation as he brings his directorial debut Pink Light for a world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival this weekend.

“It’s really important to show trans athletes as people, because that’s the best way to humanize this community and create those pathways for empathy,” Browne told The Hollywood Reporter on Friday.

Pink Light takes the inspiring sports drama genre, where athletes have to overcome obstacles in their sport and personal lives, in a new direction as Browne tackles the worsening debate around trans athletes in the media and political spaces.

“This is not an issue of trans people taking over sports. This is an issue being magnified and being disproportionately used for a moral panic,” the director argued as he pointed to the number of trans athletes in school and pro sports, including the Olympics, being vanishingly small, compared to the total number of athletes in sports.

“Society is villainizing the community. And its really easy to use that community as a scapegoat when you don’t know anybody, when you don’t have a face for that term,” Browne added. Pink Light centers on Scott, a trans man and an ex-pro hockey player who is left disoriented after being hit while playing in a beer league hockey game.

His head injury seemingly sparks flashbacks in the film to his 18 year-old self, Scotty, at a college frat party as he talks with a fellow party-goer for the first time about possibly leaving women’s hockey to transition to becoming a man. (read more at link)
