México City.- The President of the Judicial Branch of
Mexica (PJCDMX) City, Judge Rafael Guerra Álvarez, assured that with the
implementation of the labor justice reforms the society will have access to it
in a prompt, complete, impartial and inclusive from the capital’s judicial
body.
Speaking
at the opening of the virtual symposium The New Labor Justice System in México
City, which was attended by the Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare, Luisa
María Alcalde Luján, emphasized that the reform will serve to achieve a more
just society, whose fundamental axis will be the rights of the people.
The
federal official, in turn, recalled that México City is part of the group of 11
federal entities whose judicial powers should assume the delivery of labor
justice in 2022. Guerra Álvarez, warned that the labor justice in the capital
of the country represents a legal, administrative and academic responsibility
of high priority, since he recalled that it is the entity that registers the
greatest number of conflicts before the authorities of the matter, which
according to Mayor Luján, amount to 36 thousand individual annual demands, on
average, and 2 thousand collective.
The
also President of the Council of the Judiciary of México City, who trusted that
the operation and consolidation of the new labour justice system will soon come
to an end, stressed that the new model must be dynamic as the society it
serves, not only for the virtue of justice itself, but for its great prism of
economic, political and social effects. He recalled that labor justice is
currently undergoing an important evolution for some years, particularly with
regard to the constitutional reforms of 2017 and those related to the Federal
Labor Law of 2019.
The
judge reported that in his management of the PJCDMX, through the Institute of
Judicial Studies, More than 150 actual hours of face-to-face and virtual
academic activities have been conducted to develop essential skills for justice
providers.
In
turn, Secretary Alcande Luján, referred to the challenge posed to México City
by the reform of the labor justice system, recalled that it is not only the
entity with the largest number of workers, labor organizations and collective
labor contracts, but because of its high rate of conflict.
In
acknowledging the work carried out by the Coordination Council for the
Implementation of the Labor Reform, the federal official underlined the
coordination achieved with Magistrate Guerra Álvarez, not only as president of
the PJCDMX, but also of the National Commission of Superior Courts of Justice
of the United Mexican States, so that labor justice advances in an orderly and
effective manner in the 32 jurisdictional headquarters.
The
opening ceremony was attended by the director of the International Labor
Organization (ILO) for México and Cuba, Pedro Furtado Oliveira, who expressed
the willingness of that body to accompany the three powers of the country's
capital in the work that unfold in the historic reform that leads México to be
more inclusive.
The
symposium organized by the ILO and the PJCDMX takes place over three days, and
involves magistrates and judges from the capital's judicial body, as well as
federal government labor officials, academics, among others.
