Souces: El Financiero and Mexico public holidays. Mexico's Secretary of Labour announced that Tuesday, May 1, 2007, would be an official public holiday (día de descanso obligatorio) and dashed any hopes of a long weekend by specifying that Monday, April 29, 2007, would be a normal working day.Analysis: This announcement was a much needed clarification, as many individuals and businesses are still confused as to the status of public holidays that occur mid-week, following the 2006 amendments to article 74 of the Federal Labour Law that made some public holidays move from a fixed date to a Monday, while others did not, while some of the changes were effective in 2006 and some only in 2007.
