Martí Batres, general director of ISSSTE, has been criticized for ignoring the workers of the National Democratic Union of Workers of the Institute, despite having received two collaboration requests. This union has been the only one to denounce corruption in ISSSTE since its inception. During the management of Ramírez Pineda, Commander Z, Pedro Zenteno, Bertha Alcalde, and Almendra Ortiz have committed serious irregularities, including irregular contracts that resulted in tragedies and delivery of counterfeit uniforms.
In his first 100 days, Batres has stated that he seeks to transform ISSSTE, but has been criticized for his lack of action regarding historical problems. Although he has proposed to eliminate loan raffles, questions arise as to why high-interest rates are charged to workers. His proposal to equalize salaries with IMSS poses financial challenges and budget cuts.
It is noted that the labor reforms proposed by the ISSSTE Workers' Union have not yet been authorized, despite their importance in guaranteeing union rights. The shortage of medications and the lack of attention to other workers of the institute are issues not addressed by Batres. Despite his promises of transparency and change, he is criticized for his lack of action and for favoring certain unions.
