Panamanian workers will demand the resignation of the labor minister

According to the appeal, the president of Metradeel does not act against workplace complaints and sexual harassment, thus violating Conventions 87, 98 and 190 of the International Labor Organization.

The mobilization will move from the University of Panama to the Mitradel facilities in this capital, to also demand the imposition of sanctions against the Director of National Action, Antonio Vargas, for various transgressions.

Already in Vargas, according to reports, there is a financial investigation into the crime of abuse of power and excessive employment, based on a complaint filed by lawyers on behalf of the Federation of Workers of Electrical and Similar Industries in Panama (Sitiespa).

Conusi believes that Minister Zapata is promoting the creation of yellow unions and carrying out unfair practices against true representatives of the working class, as well as allowing the persecution of union leaders.

On the other hand, the associates demand recognition of the negotiations of the collective bargaining agreement of the National Institute of Vocational Training and Training for Human Development, which is not yet finished.

Minister Zapata, on the instructions of the President of the Republic, Laurentino Cortizo, led the representation of the Government last July at the One Dialogue Table with Social Organizations and People’s Alliances in Coccoli County.

The second phase of talks is scheduled to begin on October 28 and addresses labor and labor law issues, among other structural issues.

At this point, other scheduled issues relate to food security and sovereignty, indigenous peoples, human rights and the environment.

Additionally, in the talks, which private businessmen refuse to attend, they will consider housing and housing, public infrastructure, education, youth and development, health, social security, transportation and logistics, among other issues.
