The local representative of Morena, Alberto Vanegas, presented before the Congress of Mexico City a initiative to reform the Federal Labor Lawwith the aim of that gas station workers receive a base salary appropriate that does not depend on tips.
According to Vanegas, thousands of employees in the gas station industry They are currently informal, with tips being their main income.
The reform proposed by the legislator seeks for the Federal Labor Law to guarantee employment contracts for gas station employees, ensuring a base salary that allows them to cover their basic needs and reduce their economic vulnerability.
Vanegas pointed out that gasoline dispatchers face a situation of job insecurity, since their monthly income from tips usually ranges between 6 and 7 thousand pesos, which, in his opinion, is insufficient.
In addition to the salary, the initiative also proposes ensuring the social protection of workers in this sector, as well as better safety conditions against occupational risks.
Vanegas highlighted that gas station dispatchers are exposed to dangers such as fires, poisoning and health problems due to exposure to hydrocarbons.
Likewise, it indicated that many of these workers work days of more than eight hours, with morning, afternoon and night shifts, and only one day of weekly rest, without adequate protective equipment or sufficient training to perform their work safely.
