One year after President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced the agreement by which the federal government acquired the Mexicana de Aviación brand for 815 million pesos, Fausto Guerrero, leader of the Association of Retirees, Workers and Former Workers of the Mexican Aviation (Ajteam) assured that some former employees They have become their own executioners
since a challenge filed by a group of protesters stalled the second payment.
The first distribution under the company’s brand began on August 15, 2023, distributing around 407 million pesos among seven thousand workers and 650 retirees, with a second payment pending for the purchase of a training center, a simulator and two buildings, one in Mexico City and another in Guadalajara, for an amount very similar to the first.
He explained that contrary to what some media have reported regarding the fact that the 4T government has failed to comply, The reality is that workers and retirees have been their own executioners.
Two complaints from disgruntled workers have delayed payments. The first was delayed by seven months, while the second is also in a similar situation.
Fausto Guerrero explained that in December of last year We thought we would make progress on the issue (of payments); however, we were prevented by the lawsuit filed in 2019 by a group of 42 trusted workers, who today have a sentence condemning them to pay 44 million pesos, in such a way that the purchase and sale process continues to be stopped and consequently the resources do not reach the pockets of workers and retirees.
