What are the Telmex workers asking for?
Salary adjustment
Telmex offered a 4.5% salary increase for telephone operators, but the union rejected it, demanding a 7% increase, which is closer to annual inflation.
Recruitment
Another complaint is that Telmex has frozen the hiring of 1,942 vacancies.
The STRM has carried out summonses for three years and the workers had chosen June 7 of this year to materialize it However, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare achieved a dialogue between Telmex and the trade unionists to reach an agreement and avoid a stoppage of activities.
The meeting was held on June 22. In it, the union and Telmex agreed to increase the salary of active and retired workers by 4.5% to avoid a strike. However, the general secretary of the STRM, Francisco Hernández Juárez, considers that, beyond the salary increase, it is still necessary to review part of the contract and review the vacancies held.
End to outsourcing
Workers also denounce that, in recent years, the number of active workers has been reduced. While, on the other hand, outsourcing continues, or subcontracting of personnel, without the same labor rights as unionized workers. In addition to the hiring of affiliated companies.
