Federal Center for Conciliation and Labor Registration makes “minor adjustments” to respect the decision of the workers


Alfredo Dominguez Marrufo, director of the Federal Center for Conciliation and Labor Registrationassured that no verifier has been lacking to carry out legitimization of collective labor contracts (CCT) and challenged the union organizations to demonstrate that some have not been carried out for some reason attributable to the Federal Center, which until now and despite the austerity, has complied with the implementation of the labor reform.

He even stated in an interview that all cases are analyzed, such as the one that occurred at General Motors, where, despite the votes and the decision of the workers, it has not been possible to sign a new Collective Labor Agreement. Work (CCT) with the company, so in these cases, it is possible that an extension to the Certificate of Representation to the National Independent Union of Workers of the Automotive Industry may be given (SYNTTHY).

It should be remembered that the Certificates of Union Representativeness are valid for six months and in the case of General Motors, 5 months have already passed.

In that sense, Domínguez Marrufo stressed that “we are proposing that it may be, in some cases, that (the validity) is not exercised, and this does not mean that the Center itself cannot take into consideration or extend the validity of this Certificate of Representativeness, as long as it is proven that they have not formalized the new collective agreement for an issue that is not attributable to the union, not because sometimes the negotiations can take a long time.

Likewise, he commented that the negotiations of General Motors, which unleashed the first complaint against the Mexican government under the T-MEC, “have already sat down to negotiate and the talks are advancing; even, a new strike summons has already been made, all the procedural errors for which the summons was not admitted at the time have already been purged”.

For the director of the Center there is a very good disposition, but “we are certain that the Certificate of Representativeness granted will take effect and the parties will soon reach an agreement.”

In this regard, Alejandra Moreno, general secretary of SINTTIA, reported that they will resume negotiations next Thursday, May 5, “already with new proposals”, with an adjustment in the salary demand, by the Union, but with a more realistic proposal of part of the company.

It should be remembered that on May 31 the strike summons filed by the union organization against the General Motors company expires.

Domínguez Marrufo argued that “there are many unions that have not come to carry out their legitimation consultation; This is the case of an electrical union that has a presence throughout the country, has not yet carried out this process, some argue that since the labor reform has not entered their state, they follow the previous process; but, there is no deadline that is not met, so on October 3 everyone will have to enter this dynamic in which the secret and direct free vote is a reality”.
