       WASHINGTON, Sept 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. and Mexico have
resolved a Rapid Response Mechanism petition under the
U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement alleging workers' rights were
denied at Chinese-owned manufacturer Impro Precision Industries
 1286.HK , the U.S. said on Tuesday.
    The U.S. Labor Department and U.S. Trade Representative said
 Mexico facilitated a resolution with Impro Industries Mexico to
remediate workers' claims at its San Luis Potosi facility by
posting neutrality statements, creating company guidelines on
freedom of association and collective bargaining and providing
training to workers.
    "We are pleased that the Government of Mexico has completed
its review of Impro Mexico and found no denial of rights at our
facility in Villa de Reyes, San Luis Potosi and that USTR has
ended its investigation," Impro Industries Mexico said in a
statement.
        "We cooperated fully with the Rapid Response Labor
Mechanism (RRLM) proceedings brought by the United States under
the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement," the statement said.
