A little over a week after the Miguel Trujillo union of the Mexican Workers’ Confederation (CTM) announced an agreement with the tire company Pirelli to harmonize its collective labor agreement (CCT) with the Rubber Industry Law, said agreement has not been presented to the worker base, so There is a lack of information that makes us think that it was a farce
said the Mexican Workers’ Union League (LSOM).
Juan Carlos Barrientos Ramírez, delegate of the independent union at the tire plant located in Silao, Guanajuato, considered that this announcement only seeks to confuse
to representatives of the United States government who are investigating the denial of the right to authentic collective bargaining due to the non-application of the contract-law in the company, as part of the labor complaint under the T-MEC that they requested on July 22.
Both the company and the CTM have been opaque in the content of said agreement
and, on the contrary, Only inaccurate information has spread
which highlights that not all people will benefit from the payment of benefits and that these will only apply to people with more seniority, he said.
We maintain that the Rubber Industry Law Contract must apply in its entirety to the Pirelli company and that the payment of its benefits must not discriminate against any of the people who work there.
warned the LSOM delegate.
He mentioned that in recent days, the independent trade union organization filed a lawsuit with the Federal Labor Court for the ownership of the union representation, as well as a lawsuit for the annulment of the CCT and the payment of unpaid benefits so that the contract-law of the rubber industry is fully applied at the Pirelli plant.
