Job Creation in Mexico: Call to Action

The president of Coparmex Mexico City, Adal Ortiz Ávalos, called on the private sector, the government, and trade unions to collaborate in promoting the creation of jobs that benefit both workers and companies. During the signing ceremony of the 'Memorandum of Understanding on Decent and Productive Work,' Ortiz Ávalos emphasized the importance of ensuring working conditions that respect human dignity and promote equality to contribute to the construction of a sustainable and prosperous city.

'Jobs where each worker finds a legitimate and peaceful source of income, but above all a means of personal fulfillment,' pointed out the business leader. He emphasized that companies that respect labor rights, promote continuous training for their employees, and create healthy work environments are more competitive and contribute to rebuilding the social fabric with a positive and lasting impact.

Ortiz Ávalos underscored the role of entrepreneurs as agents of change and the importance of collaborating to resolve national problems. He highlighted that the signing of the memorandum is a testament to the potential that exists when working together, with will and heart, to cultivate a field of prosperity where no one is left behind.

At the ceremony, held at the Museum Archive of Photography, figures present included Inés González Nicolás, Secretary of Labor and Employment Promotion, as well as representatives from the private sector such as Esperanza Ortega Azar, president of Canacintra; Diego Cosío Barto, president of ANTAD; and Ricardo Israel González Lomelí, president of the Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry (CMIC). Representatives of the national workforce also attended, such as the Mexican Republic Telephone Workers' Union (STR), the Mexican Regional Workers' Confederation (CROM), the Confederation of Workers of Mexico (CTM), and the Revolutionary Confederation of Workers and Peasants (CROC).
