**Government of Baja California and Bureaucrats Union Collaborate to Support ISSSTECALI**
In a significant move towards ensuring the welfare of government workers and their families in Baja California, Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda and Guillermo Aldrete Casarín, the Secretary General of the State Bureaucrats Union, have launched a collaborative agenda aimed at the restructuring of ISSSTECALI’s financial system. Through establishing joint workgroups, the aim is to secure its viability and sustainability.
The government and the union have agreed to conduct a thorough review of technical, legal, economic, and social positions, forming joint task forces to efficiently achieve essential objectives that benefit both the workers and the local community. The shared goal is to develop sustainable solutions for ISSSTECALI, particularly in ensuring adequate medical service delivery including necessary supplies, medication, surgical procedures, and secure pension plans.
Governor Marina del Pilar emphasized her administration’s commitment to open dialogue and assured no repressive measures would be taken against workers expressing their concerns. She reassured that the administration would listen actively to all voices to build agreements that serve the community’s best interests.
Dialogue between the leaders of the Single Union of Workers and the state’s Executive Power is ongoing, aimed at resolving a pressing issue neglected by previous administrations. Most notably, the governor clarified that there are no current plans to raise the retirement age to 68, nor to infringe on any workers’ rights.
Friday will see a landmark payment by CESPT of over 100 million pesos as part of this administration’s efforts to rectify outstanding debts with ISSSTECALI. As a part of this commitment, Governor Marina del Pilar has promised that any reform to ISSSTECALI will not take place in December, allowing ample time for meetings and discussions.
Guillermo Aldrete expressed confidence in the governor’s intentions to advocate for workers, highlighting the importance of collaboration in creating a viable plan for ISSSTECALI’s recovery.
