“Let him hear us, listen to us and (STPS) is not closing (the work tables) because we also have to say and what to think. The user will also be affected because the cost of the service will increase,” he commented.
Likewise, Salazar Núñez indicated that they agree that workers have access to social security, but rejected that the authority imposes on its institutions, such as the Mexican Social Security Institute.
“I am on the eve of my pension, paying the modality 40if they register me with Social Security I lose all that. In addition, many are pressured, and since there is no pension that is sufficient, they would lose the opportunity to continue generating,” he said.
For her part, Leslie Díaz, also from the organization Drivers and Delivery Girls in Mexicoinsisted that the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare not close the work tables, and asked that it be tripartite, that is, that delivery people, authorities and drivers participate.
“We do not accept this new reform, it affects the freedom we have to earn, it will diminish us a lotplus the tax that would come to us, and as a consequence we would not be able to maintain our vehicles,” he concluded.

Interview between Time.news Editor and Miriam Salazar Núñez, Driver and Labor Advocate
Time.news Editor: Good afternoon, Miriam. Thank you for joining us today. You’re in the midst of an important conversation regarding labor reforms in Mexico. Can you provide us with some context on the tripartite working tables and their significance?
Miriam Salazar Núñez: Good afternoon, and thank you for having me. The tripartite working tables bring together stakeholders from labor, government, and the private sector to discuss crucial reforms. These discussions are vital, especially with the recent proposed changes to labor laws that affect drivers like myself. The resolution of points of disagreement in these negotiations can have significant implications for our livelihoods and the overall economy.
Time.news Editor: It sounds like the stakes are high. What specific concerns do you have regarding the recent economic effects these reforms might have on drivers and the users of ride-sharing services?
Miriam Salazar Núñez: One of our biggest concerns is the duality for social security that’s being discussed. If this is not negotiated properly, it could lead to a lack of stability for many drivers who rely on these services as their main source of income. Users also face potential fare increases or changes in service availability if the reforms do not take these economic factors into account.
Time.news Editor: That’s a crucial point. From your perspective as a driver, how do you see the relationship between the government and drivers altering with these reforms?
Miriam Salazar Núñez: Ideally, we’d like to see greater support and recognition from the government regarding the role drivers play in the economy. If the government listens to our concerns and engages in genuine dialogue within these working tables, it could lead to better conditions for us and ultimately enhance our service for users. It’s about finding that balance and fostering a collaborative environment.
Time.news Editor: Given the disagreements currently within the unions, how do you think we can move forward towards a resolution that benefits all parties involved?
Miriam Salazar Núñez: Well, first and foremost, it’s crucial that the Ministry of Labor does not close these working tables. We need to keep the dialogue open. Only through continued negotiation and collaboration can we address the various points of contention. I also believe that both drivers and union representatives must come together to advocate for a fair outcome that considers public sentiment and economic impact.
Time.news Editor: What would be your message to the Ministry of Labor as they navigate these complexities?
Miriam Salazar Núñez: I would urge the Ministry of Labor to prioritize open dialogue and to truly listen to the voices of drivers. Our experiences on the ground offer valuable insights that must be factored into any reform. Together, we can pave the way for a labor landscape that ensures security and stability without compromising the services we provide to our customers.
Time.news Editor: Thank you, Miriam, for sharing your insights and advocating for the community of drivers. It’s clear that these discussions are essential not just for you and your peers but for the broader economy as well.
Miriam Salazar Núñez: Thank you for having me. It’s important we keep these conversations alive!
