The requirements to file a lawsuit against labor algorithm discrimination in Mexico have evolved significantly in 2025. As a specialist in digital law and technological discrimination, I'll guide you through the complete process and updated requirements to file your labor lawsuit against automated discriminatory practices. Algorithmic discrimination represents one of the most complex legal challenges of our time, but with proper documentation and the correct process, you can protect your labor rights.
Definition and Legal Framework of Algorithmic Discrimination
Algorithmic discrimination is defined as the use of automated systems that generate biased or unequal results based on protected characteristics such as gender, age, race, ethnicity, or disability. According to the Federal Law to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination, article 9, these practices are prohibited in all areas, including the workplace.
Common Manifestations in the Workplace
• Automated recruitment systems: Filters that exclude candidates based on gender or age bias
• Digital performance evaluations: Algorithms that penalize certain demographic groups
• Automated schedule assignment: Systems that discriminate by marital status or family situation
• Algorithmic promotions: Automated criteria that unfairly favor certain profiles
• Intelligent labor monitoring: Disproportionate digital surveillance toward specific groups
