Given the lack of response from The Home Depot to unionized workers, who requested a 15 percent salary increase, this Thursday they decided to demonstrate in front of the Cancun branch and could go on strike if there are no agreements.A total of 147 unionized employees joined the request of just over 400 unionized employees in the three stores in Quintana Roo, including Playa del Carmen and Chetumal, plus dozens of other trusted workers, who would also benefit from the increase.It was at noon on Thursday when, accompanied by Julio Ávila Guzmán, special commissioner of the CROC in the state, they took out banners and at the access to the branch located at the intersection of Kabah and Andrés Quintana Roo avenues, and emphasized demanding a salary just.“Here I work, every day I sell more, let it be seen in my salary”, “Everything goes up, the basic basket, transportation, less salary”, “Home Depot, we demand better salaries!”, “The workers want better salary ”, “The best year in sales, the worst for workers”, were some of the phrases that could be read on their cardboard.Ávila Guzmán assured that this 2022 has been one of the best years in sales for the company, but unfortunately the workers have not seen it reflected in their pockets and that is, in addition to the zero salary increase, they withdrew the transport bonus and discount the day if they have to be absent from work due to illness.Given this, they warned that they will continue to carry out peaceful demonstrations until a dialogue is achieved, but if The Home Depot continues to refuse to negotiate, they will call a strike, until they achieve the required wage increase.“We are asking the company for the salary increase that for justice corresponds to us year after year, that they sit down with a workers' commission, so that this can be done.The union, we, together with the workers' commission, are asking for a 15 percent salary increase, there is no answer to sit down with the workers so that this is carried out, "explained Julio Ávila.The collective contract, he said, should have been reviewed since April 1 and so far they have only had refusals to do so, so these demonstrations will continue until they have an answer."If we have to break out a strike, we will see how to do it... we have had two difficult years with the company, we have always been able to negotiate, but now there is a total refusal," he said.Astrid Sanchez EditionIndustry Fails to Monitor Death and Destruction Caused by Its Products, Congress Report Finds17 min ago |Washington, United StatesThe project has 450 hectares of ecological reserve for a new golf experience21 min ago |Merida YucatanAuthorities want to contain what could become an entrenched infectious disease56 min ago |Washington, United StatesAffectation of 196 thousand million pesos to criminal groups after dismantling: SSPC1 hour ago |Mexico City17 hours ago |Cancun Quintana Roo18h ago |Chetumal, Quintana Roo18h ago |Tulum, Quintana Roo7pm ago |Chetumal, Quintana Roo7pm ago |Cancun Quintana Roo7pm ago |Tulum, Quintana Roo7pm ago |Tulum, Quintana Roo
