After the reform of the Federal Labor Law, the era of “charro” leaders and the single-union representation is over, since now several labor groups can register in the same company or sector, and employees can join the one that best represents them, said a leading academic researcher. He explained that although subcontracting, also called outsourcing, is still in place despite being unfair, for now the national economy could not support the 40 million people currently working without health insurance or pension system. On other topic, a communist leader and unionist talks about some worker struggles won in Mexico in the 70s, and about the political work that in favor of the union organization carried out figures such as the legendary railroad leader Valentin Campa. In addition, a colleague of Mexican public radio comments on the public rally in Tijuana called “Unity for the Defense of Mexico’s Dignity” convened by President López Obrador in response to the threat of President Trump’s tariff hikes on Mexican imports. Martha Elena Ramírez, conducts this broadcast of the Voz Pública program, from Mexico City.
Guests: Manuel Bobadilla, deputy director of Radio Education Information, Mexico City; Javier Buenrostro, historian of UNAM and researcher at Mcgill University, Mexico City; Gonzalo Mejía Ramírez, leader, National Coordinator of Workers Valentín Campa, Mexico City.
