Peña Nieto Orders the Firing of Workers from Seguro Popular of PV

July 5, 2013 * So it was made known to the more than 80 workers assigned to the area of ​​Seguro Popular, located in the Regional Hospital of this city, after refusing to sign a new contract through an outsource, thereby renouncing their labor rights. Due to refusing to sign, the employees were laid off and informed that by order of the President, Enrique Peña Nieto, through the Federal Ministry of Health, all employees in the country will be hired by an outsource. Jalisco is the first state in the country which performs this pilot project which will be implemented gradually in all the subordinate offices of the federal government of the republic.

This is a serious problem that is happening to the staff assigned to the area of ​​Seguro Popular, established at the Regional Hospital of Puerto Vallarta, after that this evening, Friday July 5, 2013, they were fired by the hospital managers, upon their refusal of signing a new contract with the outsource company MAFER.

Before this situation, the directors of the Regional Hospital, summoned the "cover-up" staff to serve the citizens starting on Saturday July 6, 2013, at the 07:00 hours, and thus not affect the insurance-holders.

The workforce that conforms the Seguro Popular was summoned to be notified that they should sign the new contract with the outsource MAFER, on a simple sheet dated July 1, 2013. Should they not accept to do so, the employee would be fired; and after knowing their options they chose not to sign and leave.

The managers seeing that attitude, notified them that they had been dismissed by order of the President, Enrique Peña Nieto, through the Federal Ministry of Health, as Jalisco will be the pilot for applying this type of contract through outsource.

That is to say, explained the affected to NoticiasPV.com, "we are the guinea pigs, because they are experimenting with our work; but if there are no complaints and we accept, then they will continue with other federal agencies, but we will not have any labor rights".

The affected are more than 80 workers; they did not sign the new contract and there is the possibility that, for this Saturday, there will be a strike in case the "cover-up" staff doesn't show up.

THE CITIZEN COMPLAINT

NoticiasPV.com, received in its Facebook inbox, many messages related to these particular concerns:

"They are forcing the staff of Seguro Popular to sign a new contract with the outsource company MAFER. It's a ridiculous contract of 1 sheet, where they say that the company can dispose of them according to the needs of the company.

All this, dated July 1, and that if they do not sign, they should be considered fired. The director is upset by the non compliance... and they will be considered terminated.

Then they want the "cover-up" staff to mandatorily present themselves at 7:00 in the morning (Saturday July 6, 2013) in uniform.

Failure to find an echo in this call, they will STRIKE, for lack of personnel. "

AUTHORITIES OF THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH DEFINE THEIR POSITION

After receiving the order at the federal level, the directors of the Ministry of Health, set their position, in the voice of Jaime Agustin Gonzalez Alvarez:

"The plan" b "would be that those who do not want to continue in the way they work are entitled to resign and then we would go to our job pool and hire people who have the profile, so that we can properly hire them".

This, after that in the city of Guadalajara there was also a case like the one here in Puerto Vallarta.

The health official said that there will be no retaliation against workers who were against this provision of the Federal Government, and they will be convened on Monday to explain the benefits of their new contract, in which he said, they will enjoy benefits such as life insurance, medical expenses and access to loans which they did not have.

For now this Saturday July 6, it is expected that here in Puerto Vallarta they achieve their strike or else they will need to bow to this tough measure by the government of Peña Nieto.
