After 30 years of work in the Ministry of the Interior (Segob), Leticia Guzmán Palma, a former collaborator of the Services subdirectorate, denounced that she was fired unjustifiably and without even being paid the second part of the bonus or salary. that belonged to him.
He noted that, with tricks
, Édgar Gutiérrez Cázares, director of Contracts and in charge of the legal area of the Segob, fired her on December 14 last. He summoned her to a supposed work meeting, but in reality he demanded that she sign her resignation for loss of confidence
to allow him to collect his salary at least until the first fortnight of January.
Before 3 in the afternoon, when my schedule ends, they sent me an email to schedule a meeting
in a room on the second floor of building L, of the Segob headquarters. “I went in, they closed the door and being the only person in the place, Edgar told me: ‘The resource is already authorized until the first fortnight of January, but if you don’t sign the waiver, they can stop it,’ and they effectively stopped my payments ”.
Two years after retiring, Guzmán Palma refused to sign the resignation. The only thing they told me, he points out, was the loss of confidence
, but I do not have any position that deserves
that assumption. Such an argument, he stressed, is only applicable from middle management up and I am operational staff
, in accordance with the Federal Law of Workers in the Service of the State.
The former employee of the Segob Services subdirectorate says that in the last five years, her work consisted of gather all the information on the tenders, contracting of the dependency procedures. I put together the folders and when the year ends, I download them to the processing file
for your protection.
That day he tried to talk to his direct boss, Diego Chávez Rivera, director of acquisitions, but “he told me that he couldn’t talk to me, that ‘the decision had been made,’ and he pressured me” to take away his credential.
The days after his dismissal, Guzmán Palma tried to re-enter Segob, but access has been denied. He also tried to go to the department’s human resources area to process his sick leave, but they also prevented him from doing so.
They left me totally defenseless because, as I told Édgar Gutiérrez, I am the only breadwinner in my house; I was unable to pay my Fovissste credit and a payroll loan, in addition to losing the Issste medical service
, he expressed.
Guzmán Palma also approached the Federal Court of Conciliation and Arbitration, where the staff who advised her told her that in this instance “they only had a 40 percent chance of winning the labor lawsuit, but since ‘you can be trusted, you don’t have right to nothing; the servers that are from the professional career service are the only ones that are entitled to liquidation. You, frankly, have no right to anything.”
