D.Arturo Ortega (Chapala, Jal). – The mayor of Chapala, Alejandro de Jesús Aguirre Curiel, and the City Hall Workers’ Union (SPTA) have agreed on an increase of 100 pesos for the municipal workers’ savings fund.
The workers, who regularly contribute 65 pesos every two weeks by salary deduction, will increase their contribution by 35 pesos, while the City Hall will contribute a similar amount.
The increase in the savings fund, which is included in next year’s budget approved by the Chapala City Council, means that workers will receive 4,800 pesos by the end of 2022.
The increase in labor and employer contributions will begin from the first pay period in January. At the end of this year (2021), workers will receive 3,120 pesos for this benefit.
Aguirre Curiel, who was present during the union assembly on November 27, recalled that the increase in the workers’ savings fund was one of his campaign proposals, and says that it will encourage the workers to work in a more committed manner with the citizens of the municipality.
Juan Cuevas Gudiño, union representative, thanked the mayor for having agreed to the benefit increase, which had been taking place for several administrations, but was not considered part of the general working conditions until these were signed in October 2019.
The City Council’s trustee, Gamaliel de Jesús Soto Pérez, said that an invitation will be sent to the labor staff of all the departments of the municipal government, to invite those who would like to participate in this benefit, and to make the corresponding adjustment to the 2022 expenditure project that was approved in the same session.
