The National Union of Workers of Nacional Monte de Piedad and the company met again yesterday at the Federal Conciliation Center, but without progress in ending the strike that broke out on October 1st.
Arturo Zayún González, general secretary of the union organization, stated that “we have not reached any conclusion,” so a new meeting was agreed for next Thursday.
“We filed a lawsuit for violations of the contract and they (the company) want to negotiate other things that are not a factor… such as the consolidation of positions and new multifunctional and multiskilled positions,” he explained in a brief interview.
He indicated that the meeting was attended by administrative directors of Nacional Monte de Piedad and federal officials.
More than three months after the strike affecting 300 pawnshop branches, Zayún reminded users “that they have the alternative of filing a complaint with Profeco (Federal Consumer Protection Agency) so that their pawn contract is respected and their items are secured.”
