Whats happen in Mexico with the labor unions?

To understand what is the situation in Mexico with the labor unions I need to put you in context:

The firts aspect you need to know is the CTM “Confederacion de Trabajadores de Mexico” for it´s name in Spanish, was create when the PRI “Partido Revolucionario Institucional” for it´s name in Spanish was the official politic party in Mexico by 80 years

Now we have a different official politic party and it created his own labor union group, named CATEM “Confederacion autónoma de trabajadores y empleados de Mexico” for it´s name in Spanish.

Other labor union is ready, its name is CIT “Confederacion internacional de trabajadores” for it´s name in Spanish, the principal promoter of it is Senador Napoleon Gomez Urrutia.

How can affect you the new labor union creation?

Well the easiest way to explain you, is trying to see labor unions like a business, and the principal business objet is make money, to make money need costumers who buy your products and pay you money.

With the labor union is the same; customers – employers, product – labor union representative and money – union dues.

Of the above is easy to see the productive sector (factories, stores, shops, services, etc.) may be in the middle of a war.

This view is not new in Mexico, this History was in Mexico in the years 1950 to 1987, bout the unions in Mexico changed in a better version. This new optics brought labor peace, progress, understanding and better working conditions.

Why alter labor peace?

Mexico has become an option to invest, a lot of company come from anywhere in the world. And this does not like the labor unions, politicians and companys in other countries, especially those in the north of the American continent.

These labor unions in the north have been promoters of smear campaigns against companies in Mexico, they have even gone so far as hiring people to alter the labor peace of companies located on the northern border of Mexico. Matamoros Tamaulipas.

It is fundamental to understand that this war of labor unions, is already active and that there are no companies that can escaped.

What can we do to protect ourselves?

We must start by eliminating labor practices that cause harm to workers, such as Outsourcing. Let’s start working on improving our source of work.

Let’s listen to the people who work in the company. Let them feel a fundamental and indispensable part, because they are.
