Morelia, Michoacán.- Although she recognized the inadequacy of inputs to meet the pandemic of Covid-19, the leader of the Democratic Union of Health, Similar and Related Workers “General Lázaro Cárdenas” (STDSSM), Guadalupe Pichardo Escobedo, assured that these have arrived through the corresponding tenders.
It reported that from February to date, 22 tenders had been made, so inputs must influence although it acknowledged that the last shipment that the federation purchased did not yet reach the state.
He ignored the exact number of respirators, but referred that the Civil Hospital has about 15, but it is estimated that in the state there are about 150, but it is known that the federation will also deliver more.
Pichardo Escobedo at a press conference was expressed around the salary approval announced yesterday by the state government for the benefit of health workers.
It called on the administrative authorities to establish control and security measures to enable the correct identification of the personnel to be included in this process and to avoid diversion and manipulation of records in favour of workers who are not candidates for this measure at this first stage.
In this context, he recalled that the workers’ demand to be regularized and obtain labour justice takes more than 10 years, so there are an average of 3,000 workers waiting, so he made vows not to be used as a political benefit or for private interests.
In particular, she asked the Secretary of Health, Diana Celia Carpio Ríos, to combo that working tables were integrated with the participation of all trade union expressions in order to establish the mechanisms for determining the priorities in the implementation of this emerging salary approval measure for the subsequent stages of this process, since 3 stages were announced.
