The recent initiative on proposed work the PRI, which is to be voted on soon in the House of Representatives does not consider seriously the rights of workers. The fundamental issues of labor law are not in it: they are omitted, are set aside or disturb.
All initiative considers labor as a commodity and not as a fundamental right whose owners are the workers. Thus, the right to a rewarding salary is not mentioned in the initiative. It seems that workers in this country must continue to receive meager wages insufficient to cover the material and cultural needs of a worker and family. Not on the horizon of the PRI proposal propose a living wage. Some members, unlike of this initiative, we have insisted on a salary of 10 thousand pesos monthly minimum wage for all workers in the Republic.
not part of the initiative is the increase in the rights attaching to the work as the increase in the holiday period, the reduction of hours of work or improvement in the seniority premium. The PRI proposal is designed to encourage working conditions.
The initiative is guided by the "labor flexibility."
This means legalizing the subcontracting or outsourcing and temporary contracts are favored: training contracts for 60 days Safe for beginners contracts for 30 days and seasonal work.
This will allow employers to reduce labor rights and social security of workers, and facilitate the dismissal of staff, minimizing employer obligations.
regard to freedom of association, which has been recognized and guaranteed by conventions of the ILO and patented by the Supreme Court's Office, the initiative prevents the existence of craft unions, such as the aviation industry and academia, promoting their affiliation of workers from other companies or institutions.
True to its origin, the initiative to anything dealing with internal democracy trade unions and employers, or the accountability of union leaders to their members on the administration of union dues. And neither addresses the need for transparency in union.
is, therefore, a proposal that maximizes the charrismo and the power of union leaders and business organizations.
on labor justice does not arise a change which would be labor courts in Mexico that are part of the judiciary. Maintaining the obsolete and corrupt Conciliation and Arbitration, which shall remain integrated into the executive powers of the country.
The absurd Bill contains discriminatory provisions contrary to Article I of the Constitution.
For example, the proposed wording of Article 133 of the Federal Labor Act allows the employer to refuse to accept and hire people with AIDS / HIV.
whole proposal is designed to undermine the Constitution. Preserve the worst vices of the Mexican labor market corporatism, corruption and anti-democracy, and encourages the rights and benefits of business class. This is an initiative promoted by the business class in alliance with the charro unions to restrict and impair the rights of the working class.
