Juarez City.- The revenue from the participation of workers in the profits of the maquiladora companies in Ciudad Juárez will be around 690 million pesos, the highest amount on record.
According to journalistic archives, last year’s distribution was 527 million pesos, so the figure for this 2023 is 30.93 percent higher, equivalent to 163 million.
Sergio Colín Chávez, president of Index Juárez, commented that the figure is higher due to the arrival of new companies.
Until March of this year, the transformation industry employed 339,373 people, so that on average each employee would receive 2,033 pesos.
The leader of the manufacturing sector ruled out problems in that sector to comply with this obligation towards the workers.
Since last month, some companies began to pay this benefit, although the deadline to do so is May 31.
Through advertisements placed in the Classified section of this medium, maquilas began to call their ex-collaborators to come to receive the participation that corresponds to them.
The figure provided by the president of Index Juárez for this 2023 is higher than that of years like 2020, when, according to data from that same organization, 353 million pesos were paid, the highest amount in history since 2006.
The Index statistics show that in 2019 the spill was 331 million pesos and 230 million in 2018.
While in 2017 219 million pesos were distributed among workers, 16 million more than the 203 in 2016.
A year earlier, in 2015, there were 188 million profits and 174 in 2014.
In 2013 the figure was 163 million, in 2012 it was 154 million and in 2011 it was 139 million, while in 2010 it was also 139 million, 125 in 2009 and 157 in 2008.
The amount delivered in 2007 was 205 million pesos and 258 in 2006.
This panorama contrasts with that of small and medium-sized companies, which, according to Jesús Manuel Salayandía Lara, vice president of Maquilas and Border Affairs of the national Canacintra, are still suffering the ravages caused by the pandemic.
