75th Legislature Seeks to Strengthen Workers’ Rights – MonitorExpresso.com

Morelia, Michoacán.- The Plenary of the 75th Legislature approved sending to the Congress of the Union, an Initiative with a Draft Decree to reform the Federal Labor Law, in order to guarantee access to justice and labor rights of workers. With the amendments to sections XII and XIII, and an addition to section XIV to article 742 of the Law, the aim is to protect workers and guarantee their rights, so that they have access to prompt and expeditious justice, and that any procedure is carried out in a transparent manner. After an extensive analysis, it was observed that, during labor proceedings, carried out by Courts or Tribunals of the matter, in the stage of reply and counter-reply, it is not notified personally because it is not contemplated in the Federal Labor Law, which generates effects for the worker and for the employer for not adequately defending themselves within the trial. That is why it is necessary for them to be personally notified and to exercise their right to defend themselves. In this sense, the proposal that will be sent to the Congress of the Union, has the objective of adding as a personal notification act to the stage of reply and counter-reply in the written phase, defects will be avoided and no major labor conflicts that may harm workers will be generated. It is important to note that the reply and the counter-reply are procedural figures that do not seek to expand the claim or the counterclaim, but important allegations that ratify the Litis in the labor trial, and that are fundamental to allude to facts expressed by the parties, the importance of these figures in labor processes is that there is a true balance of the parties before the right to provide evidence or clarify facts.
