MEXICO CITY, (EFE) .- The Mexican government announced that, together with the United States, it closed the case on the alleged denial of rights of freedom of association and collective bargaining in the Autopartes company Aludyne Automotive Mexico City (Aludyne), in Mexico City.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS) and the Ministry of Economy (SE), the conflict was resolved according to the rapid response labor mechanism (MLRR) of the treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (TMEC).
In the note, both units indicated that in the results of the investigation, which Mexico shared to the United States on May 16, the complaint was resolved on an alleged employer interference in union matters.
“The STPS did not find evidence that supports the accusations of the Union of Workers of the Metal Industry, Steel, Iron, Related and Similar (Stimahcs) against Aludyne,” said the Mexican government.
He also said that evidence was found that the company has respected the workdays, the roles on duty and the vacation payment in accordance with what is indicated in the Federal Labor Law (LFT) and the Collective Labor Contract (CCT).
On the complaint that three employees were fired for their union activities or preferences, the authority indicated that “no indications or evidence that corroborate it were detected.”
In addition, about Aludyne’s alleged negative “to negotiate in good faith”, the STPS identified that the company and the union made “the comprehensive review of the CCT in 2024”.
