There is no sign of agreement in the labor conflict at the Nacional Monte de Piedad (NMP), since while their union accused the administration of insisting on liquidate
its collective contract and the workers, the institution indicated that it is approaching insolvency if the benefits are not changed.
The union leader Arturo Zayún González reported that the call to strike was extended once again to February 10, in order to exhaust conciliation
and negotiations will continue tomorrow.
Originally the explosion was scheduled for January 20.
The general secretary of the National Union of Employees and Workers of the institution indicated that the administration was opposed, even filed an injunction
against the extension. We have not reached any approach, they are still determined to eliminate the new contract. We defer the outbreak of the strike with the possibility of reaching an agreement, we want to exhaust all instances of conciliation
held.
The private assistance institution indicates that the current employment contract is burdensome and rigid
and it cannot maintain it, even in August of last year it presented a conflict of an economic nature with the purpose of annulling the collective contract. The NMP proposal, headed by Javier de la Calle, is to liquidate the more than 2,600 employees and rehire them under other working conditions.
Zayún González affirms that such a position is contradictory, since – he indicated – in different statements, Luis Padilla, director of the NMP pledge operation, has indicated that 2023 started fairly good
since it grew 3 billion pesos more compared to what was placed in 2021, as part of the operations to cope with the so-called january cost
.
While the NMP administration indicated that the CCT benefits are superior to those provided by law, to those offered in the pledge sector, the union leader rejected that it is untenable
.
