Mypes reject agreement signed by Produce for lack of key measures

“We do not recognize the minutes proposed by Produce as valid since it does not address in its real dimension what was discussed during the different meetings held previously, nor does it consider the commitments assumed by Minister Pérez Reyes in the May 5 meeting that should be carried out to June 30 of the present,” the union said.

The text contains 54 signatures of natural persons and a group of unions, which does not reach 50% of the 130 union representatives who met with the minister on June 30, according to Fredemype.

He added that almost 70 unions in the textile sector signed this document.

“There is a group of leaders who have not signed the act because they want other issues to be added. We have said no, that only the issues that were the reason for the meeting last week will be signed,” said Pérez Reyes.

The minister explained that the document set deadlines for the approval of the files, the delivery of information by the Technological Institute of Production (ITP) on the technical sheets and all the documentation for the purchasing process.

“The idea is to set dates, tomorrow (Tuesday, July 4) the ITP document arrives, today we are pre-approving the technical files, on Wednesday or Thursday we should approve the following files and we agree to meet on Monday the 10th to follow up on the commitments that the ministry contracts so that this process is not delayed,” he explained.
