In her role inaugurating the Labor Committees for the Defense of the Fourth Transformation within CATEM, Sheinbaum reiterated her commitment to safeguarding workers’ rights and wages, and stressed the need for collaboration with entrepreneurs. “We are united by a fundamental goal: to avoid a return to past corruption and privileges, and to continue advancing the Fourth Transformation of Mexico’s public life,” she asserted.
“I pledge to keep defending workers’ wages and benefits. Our shared goal is to progress together for the benefit of both workers and our country,” she concluded.
Pedro Haces Barba, senator and general secretary of CATEM, commended the strides made in the partnership between the working class and the 4T government, including the minimum wage increase and the end of subcontracting. “We are at a pivotal moment, and from this congress, we reaffirm our dedication to the principles of the Fourth Transformation,” Haces Barba remarked.
