Following the approval of the judicial reform, rank-and-file and trusted workers of the Federal Judiciary Council (CJF) decided to initiate the formation of a coalition called 32 United Circuits and will ask the CJF to recognize them as valid interlocutors to defend their labor rights. in the face of the inaction of officially registered unions
.
They will ask That if any decision is made or working groups are formed to fulfill our mission and verify our general working conditions or rights acquired as a result of the labor struggle, it is this coalition, and not the national leaders of the two officially registered unions, who are summoned as an active part of said work.
.
The Day obtained a copy of the form that has been distributed among workers of all categories in the CJF circuits so that they can fill it out with their name, signature and file number (of the worker), and to corroborate their identity and position held, they must provide a copy of their last pay stub and some official identification.
In the call to join the coalition, it is highlighted that The general secretary, Jesús Gilberto González Pimentel, who represents the majority union, his members have made various writings and public statements ignoring him and stating that he does not represent us, since his position in favor of the ruling party and support for judicial reform without taking into consideration his members is evident.
.
The text adds that by The majority of PJF workers who are part of these workers’ movements, from each headquarters, circuit and 32 United Circuits, decided to continue with the suspension of work until we are heard and our mission is fully guaranteed.
.
The justice system will not be involved in this organization, as they are members of the National Association of Circuit Magistrates and District Judges of the PJF (Jufed), which has already announced that it will continue with the strike.
The decision to form this coalition, the document explains, came from the members from each headquarters and circuit to work together in the defense of our rights as workers in the face of the announced disappearance of the CJF, upon approval of the judicial reform in the proposed terms and its eventual entry into force, while there is no certainty that our labor rights will be guaranteed. This, in the face of the inaction of the officially registered unions that have remained as mere spectators, instead of acting as their union representation demands.
