The Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare of the State (STPS) announced that they have managed to advance 6.1 percent in the number of pending cases in the Local Conciliation and Arbitration Boards in the first four-month period of the year, so the number of the matters in process to the last day of April was 61 thousand 789.
Through an information sheet issued by the Social Communication area, the agency reported that priority is being given to conciliation to more effectively reduce the backlog that, as of January 1, was almost 66,000 issues that were not resolved. .
The Local Conciliation and Arbitration Boards of the State of Chihuahua (JLCA) reported that, since October 3, they have been working to reduce pending labor disputes that must be concluded in the coming years as part of a comprehensive management plan for the lag.
October 3 was when the New Labor Justice System began operations, which meant that labor issues will be resolved through the Conciliation Centers and, in the event of failure to reach agreements, in the courts of the judicial power.
Although the Boards stopped receiving matters as of that date, they still have the obligation to resolve all those conflicts that were still in process based on the previous labor legislation.
“It seeks to promote conciliation as a solution mechanism with the purpose that the parties reach an agreement through dialogue, reducing time and economic resources,” said the agency.
The STPS detailed that, with the cutoff of April 30, 2023, there are 61,789 labor cases pending. He added that throughout the current year, the JLCAs have managed to bring down 4,184 files, of which 1,042 were concluded during the last month.
The agency’s projection is that each year it will be possible to deal with around 12,000 cases, which would be achieved if the current pace of work continues. In addition, this would imply concluding in the next four to five years, and calling the parties to try to reach an agreement.
