Mining union Los Mineros beats ‘yellow union’ in recognition vote after eight years' struggle
THE independent Mexican mining and metalworkers’ union Los Mineros has won a resounding victory after eight years of struggle against the yellow union CTM and a major iron castings company.
A new vote on union recognition was ordered at the Teksid Hierro de Mexico SA de CV plant located in Ciudad Frontera, Coahuila, where workers voted 642 votes in favour of Los Mineros and 172 voted (with two spoiled ballots) for the discredited CTM.
In 2018, a ballot was held where Los Mineros won the vote but the company and the CTM refused to recognise the result despite the Supreme Court of Justice in Mexico ratifying the election process.
