translated from Spanish: Job loss worsened in Michoacán by Covid-19

Morelia, Michoacán.- In April alone, around 3,400 formal jobs were lost in Michoacán, while the May panorama does not seem to be flattering, the director of Labor and Social Welfare, David Garibay Tena, reported.
In the interview, he indicated that conciliations between employers and workers, especially those who had to close as non-essential activities, in the Pandemic for Covid-19 had been sought.
“The month of May still does not report it to us, because they upload it to the platform in the first ten days. So we’re waiting, but the president has said there’s a lesser loss than April. But we don’t know of those 250,000 jobs lost as a preliminary figure, how many correspond to Michoacán, if that’s the case,” he said.

In April, he said, more than 250 people were treated with an amount agreed with the employers above 3 million pesos, without the need to reach legal matters, thanks to the Conciliation and Arbitration Board being closed.
“There will surely be a funnel because with three months the Closed Board, when it is reopened there will surely be a lot of demands for dismissals or any issue that deals with dependency, and it will be slower,” he said.
