Crespo Castro He was illegally fired on May 6 for reporting violations of labor rights at the company.
His dismissal constituted a denial of his rights to freedom of association and genuine collective bargaining. The wages lost since his illegal dismissal, as well as the benefits he should have earned, must be fully covered, reported the legal advisor of the League, lawyer Pablo Franco.
He said that the procedure, protected by the Labor Chapter of the T-MEC, gives this first positive result.
“Now, the company must take a series of measures to guarantee freedom of association and genuine collective bargaining.”
He pointed out that the LSOM began affiliating workers from the company Impro months ago, with the aim of meeting the legal requirements to claim ownership of the collective bargaining agreement.
The CCT is currently signed by the National Union of the Automotive Industry and General, Similar and Related Services of the United Mexican States (CTM), he said.
Regarding the company, he said that “it must fulfil its obligation not to interfere in union matters. It must definitively end its proven complicity with the CTM union to prevent workers from freely exercising their rights.”
In this way, the existence of equal conditions must be guaranteed so that the League can carry out information, advisory and support activities for its members. The necessary facilities must also be provided so that the League can carry out its union activities within the workplace, both by its special delegates and by its national representation and its advisory team.
“No one should ever again be subject to repression for making their sympathy with the LSOM known. Furthermore, the CTM union must be prevented from carrying out sabotage activities through disinformation, slander, insults or any kind of violence,” he stressed.
The company must take action to prevent this type of behavior and if it occurs, it must be punished without hesitation.
