“We will not negotiate our general terms and conditions,” INAH unions said

On January 5, Diego Prieto Hernández, Chief Director of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), stated to this medium that this year the general working conditions (CGT) with the workers and the authorities of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit will be reviewed, “to regulate it and give them budget support.” The representatives of the six unions that make up the institution categorically rejected this information.

In an interview for The Economist They explain: “We as trade unions met and decided to express our views in public. It is totally untrue that the CEO, as he said, is already in talks with the workers. It is true that he had talks with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, through the Ministry of Culture, but not with the workers, “said Silvia Loza López, general secretary of the National Union of Administrative, Manual, Technical and Professional Workers. said. of the INAH.

He pointed out that in order to talk about a real dialogue with workers, anthropologist Diego Prieto would have to establish communication with the organized union representatives, “this is something they want to avoid, but it has not happened.” He explained that the law protects them and that the workers are organized in unions so that their voices are heard by their representatives.

Carlos Arturo Hernández Carrillo, representative of the National Democratic Union of Workers of the Ministry of Culture INAH sectorsaid that “it is important to note that the CGTs in the INAH stipulate in their articles that it may be reviewed every two years at the request of the union, but the unions of the INAH We have never requested this, so the regulations governing the employment relationship of the institute with its workers are not being complied with. For us, any unilateral attempt undertaken by the authority of the institute to amend the CGT is unworkable and normatively irregular ”. The only meeting they are willing to attend is to deal with matters concerning the budget horizon of the institute, but after submission of documentation.

The facts

Corinna Ximena Rojas Muñoz, of the INAH National Union of Restaurateursexplains that so far no concrete, formal and written information has been received about the steps being taken at the institute itself.

He denied that Diego Prieto had been conducting procedures with the Treasury since 2019 to regulate the benefits, but since then without a response to the appeal. Later, in October 2021, he was asked to send the existing documents and regulations, “what we have received are copies of the procedures he has done with the Treasury and we have not sat down to work at all until now. ”

He said in November a document on the Treasury’s response was resubmitted where it makes various explanations and observations, including amendments to what is currently understood as CGT. “This is where we try to understand the rank model and the model of training, admissions and other processes that are in the INAH and it is now homologated with the higher education model ”. As a result of this document, several unions have made more precise requests for this document, some were answered in December, others in early January, but the information is not homogeneous.

After the public statement, the unions were called to an merely informative meeting, but they did not accept. “It will be necessary from the outset for the director-general to send the information for which this meeting was to be held, and this did not happen,” said Loza López.

Hernández Carrillo, reiterated that the CGT of the INAH They have been recognized and registered with the Federal Court of Conciliation and Arbitration since 1981. “Our position is not to set up a review table, much less a negotiating table on general working conditions, as it is perfectly valid and valid for us in their terms, in addition to being recognized by the labor authority.”

Finally, José Enrique Vidal Dzul Tuyub, of the National Union of Cultural Workersadds that the observations on the economic benefits are the junction and this is where they decided to join forces and defend themselves “at all costs and in the political and legal spaces we have to touch, it is important that the society knows that more than the acquired rights, it is the continuity of the substantive work that the institution has for the country itself. ”

Luis Ojeda Godoy, of the National Union of Conservative Architects of Cultural Heritage of the SCINAHhe added, “The information provided to us took place in a discretionary manner, there was no joint delivery in a documentary manner, nor was it substantiated and properly signed so that it had official validity. “
