The Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS) and the Ministry of Economy (I KNOW) will create the National Committee for Coordination and Labor Productivity (CNCPL), to monitor the implementation of the labor reform in matters of justice, freedom and collective bargaining, given that as of October of this year in all states the new labor model must operate.
The Committee will be made up of representatives of the three sectors: employers, unions and government, with which it returns to tripartism to analyze the advances and modifications that are required in the implementation and development of the labor reform approved in 2019; and the participation of the academy will be added.
“The body will contribute to the implementation of a strategic system aimed at reconciling the new rules on labor justice, freedom of association and collective bargaining, with the principle of social and productive dialogue, in a framework of consensus and tripartite democratic participation among the main actors from the world of work, explained the head of Labor, Luisa María Alcalde Luján.
It should be noted that the Mexican government must comply with Convention 144 of the International Labor Organization (ILO), where it is requested that “put into practice procedures that ensure effective consultations, between the representatives of the government, employers and workers”, and that did not exist for three years.
During the presentation of this new Committee, it was reported that there will be three central tasks in which it will operate: labor conciliation, labor registration and collective bargaining.
The body is made up of representatives of the business sectors, workers and academia, and their participation will be for two years, extendable and on an honorary basis.
There will be new representations
In the business part will be: Business Coordinating Council (CCE); Confederation of Industrial Chambers (Concamin), Employers’ Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex); National Chamber of the Transformation Industry (Canacintra) and Confederation of National Chambers of Commerce (Concanaco).
For represent the workers, are: National Union of Workers (UNT); Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM); Revolutionary Confederation of Workers and Peasants (CROC); Confederation of Workers and Peasants (CTC): and Regional Confederation of Mexican Workers (CROM).
Between the representatives of the academic sector they are: National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM); Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM); National Polytechnic Institute (IPN); Tecnológico de Monterrey (Tec de Monterrey) and the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico (ITAM).
In this regard, the labor specialist, Pablo Franco, recalled that there is a new union reconfiguration and “given that a legitimation of contracts is being developed, it will be necessary to review whether these same ‘union faces’ are the ones that should occupy the tripartite representations, We see that in Mexico there has been a great simulation in collective bargaining, and in 2023 we will actually know who has the greatest union representation.”
