The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of the Automotive, Autoparts, Aerospace and Tire Industries (FESIIAAAN) sees technical stoppages as an adequate way out to maintain the employment of workers and face the instability of the market that the industry suffers.
Pablo Hernandez Lara, general secretary of the General Tire union in San Luis Potosí and national coordinator of the FESIIAAAN, commented that “the part of the supply chain is a very complex issue that affects not only workers in Mexico, but the entire sector worldwide due to the pandemic ”.
Hence, the unions, he explained, “have to reach agreements precisely so that it is not only the workers who bear this problem worldwide, I think it is necessary to understand that this situation should not only fall on the shoulders of the workers.”
Talks
He also said that trade union organizations have the obligation to negotiate and seek the best alternatives to take care of sources of work.
He added that within the independent unions there is a scheme called technical strike in which not everything falls on the workers, “this scheme consists of 50% of salary, the worker is going to rest and only 50% is paid. of his salary and all the benefits that are by law, and already added to this it is equivalent to 70% of the benefits to which he is entitled ”.
He also said that technical stoppages are being handled in the same way at Nissan, in Cuernavaca, Morelos; “This is how in some way this condition has been cushioned, due to the lack of the supply chain.”
