The progress of workers in Mexico brings about the progress of our country’: Claudia Sheinbaum

Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, National Coordinator for the Defense of the Fourth Transformation, emphasized the importance of cooperation between workers and employers for the country’s well-being during the XV National Ordinary Congress of the Autonomous Confederation of Workers and Employees of Mexico (CATEM). In her speech, she highlighted the significance of strengthening labor rights and avoiding any regression to the past.

Sheinbaum Pardo pointed out that the coordination of goals and objectives is crucial to maintaining the transformation of public life in Mexico. She asserted that the primary focus should be on advancing the Fourth Transformation and preventing a return to times of corruption and privilege.

After swearing in the first Labor Committees for the Defense of the Fourth Transformation within CATEM, Sheinbaum reaffirmed her commitment to ensuring a dignified life for workers, emphasizing the need for collaboration between the labor and business sectors, a principle advocated by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Pedro Haces Barba, Senator of the Republic and General Secretary of CATEM, highlighted the achievements made possible by the cooperation between labor representatives and the government of the 4T, including the increase in the minimum wage and the elimination of subcontracting. He stressed the importance of making decisions guided by the principles of the 4T movement.

Senator Ricardo Monreal underscored the need to strengthen the relationship between workers and the government to continue expanding labor rights under the leadership of Sheinbaum Pardo.

The XV National Congress of CATEM also saw the participation of figures such as Mario Delgado Carrillo, the national president of Morena, as well as governors and representatives from various institutions, who showed strong support and backing for the principles and objectives discussed at the event.
