Claudia Sheinbaum, leader of the Transformation Defense Committees, continues to garner support leading up to the year 2024. Recently, she met with the Autonomous Confederation of Workers and Employees of Mexico (CATEM).
“The success of workers is the success of Mexico,” Claudia Sheinbaum expressed during her speech. She emphasized the issue of minimum wage in the country, noting that for decades workers received insufficient remuneration, affecting the international perception of Mexican labor. However, she highlighted that with the arrival of Andrés Manuel López Obrador to the presidency, the minimum wage has increased and an additional increase is expected next year, aiming to improve the domestic economy. She also highlighted the extension of vacation days and labor freedom for workers, emphasizing the importance of defending their rights and dignity.
Addressing past concerns about inflation and foreign direct investment related to the increase in minimum wage, Sheinbaum emphasized that these have not materialized, and Mexico has reached historic levels of foreign direct investment. In this context, she affirmed that the well-being of workers has a positive impact on employers, reiterating the motto of “for the good of all, especially the poor,” which translates into shared prosperity.
Claudia Sheinbaum celebrated the coalition with CATEM after swearing in the members of the Labor Committees of the Fourth Transformation Defense. She recognized and praised the commitment of these individuals in defending the rights and wages of workers. Pedro Haces Pedro Haces Pedro Haces
