CFCRL nominee warns of contract backlog and technology dependence
José Luis Sánchez Cuazitl warned senators about problems at Mexico’s Federal Conciliation and Labor Registration Center, known as the CFCRL.
He said the center had issued 27,712 representation certificates, but only 15,181 became formal collective contracts.
These certificates are part of the process for establishing who represents workers in collective bargaining.
Sánchez Cuazitl also said nine of the center’s 21 electronic systems rely on outside developers, including universities or private organizations.
He argued that the CFCRL needs its own technology and infrastructure to control its data and registration decisions.
The center’s ability to manage labor records and support collective bargaining is at stake.
The Senate committee approved all three nominees as eligible, and the full Senate will decide who becomes the next CFCRL head.
