Question:
An employee of the company Manufacturas Industriales, SA, appeared at the company's Personnel Administration office and the union carrying a list of complaints from the workers, arguing that several workers were left with an excessive workload. The Job Description, since it had been given to each employee when they started work, but it was not updated because there were activities they carried out that were not in the list of their functions. The salaries received by the workers are not consistent with their functions, responsibilities, performance, experience and level of education. There is poor distribution of functions and preference with some workers by Management, causing displeasure and disagreements. Workers who enjoyed preferences had higher salaries, without having high performance. The company had a Collective Agreement with the union, but the workers did not know it. When they started working for the company, they were not given the opportunity to sign the Collective Agreement, they only signed a document that included general specifications of benefits and salary. Newly hired workers were put on a trial for a month; Without legal benefits, this put them in an unfavorable situation because if a work risk or illness occurred, they were not covered by the IMSS to receive medical attention.
The Personnel Administrator and Human Resources representative of the company must resolve this situation by negotiating with the workers and union, since they are so upset that they want to go to the conciliation and arbitration board to report these bad practices.
