The Morenista Senator Cynthia López Castro presented an initiative that seeks to recognize in the Federal Labor Law the sales workers by catalog and guarantee access to social security.
The proposal, baptized by the beneficiaries themselves as the “Tupperware Law”, was already turned to commissions for analysis, according to information from El Universal.
In Mexico, more than 402 thousand people are dedicated to this activity, while more than 3 million families have participated in the sale by catalog, according to data from the Data Mexico platform.
96.8% of this sector is made up of women with an average age of 47.5 years, which reflects the importance of this work as a source of income for thousands of homes.
The initiative proposes to reform and add article 285 of the Law in order to expressly incorporate selores by catalog as workers with the right to social security, and all the benefits marked by the Constitution and international treaties signed by Mexico.

If approved, companies would be obliged to pay the insurance in the Social Security regime to those who perform this work, which would give work certainty to a sector historically relegated to informality.
