Governor Mara Lezama was a guest at the XV Congress of the Confederation of Autonomous Workers and Employees of Mexico (CATEM), where Claudia Sheinbaum, National Coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of the Fourth Transformation, also attended.
At the event in Mexico City, Governor Lezama reiterated her full support and commitment to working alongside Claudia Sheinbaum, joining her at the head table with other authorities, including Morena leader Mario Delgado.
The CATEM congress serves as a forum for discussions with union leaders to improve labor conditions, particularly for the workers of Quintana Roo.
Founded 15 years ago, the union has approximately 7 million members across 1,192 organizations representing various sectors.
“Thank you, Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum, for making time in your schedule. First, you governed my home, Tlálpan, which I’m very proud of; then you governed this city where we are now, and soon you’ll see what’s coming. A top-notch woman, thank you, my dear friend,” said union leader Pedro Haces.
Sheinbaum responded by officially announcing a coalition with the workers’ union.
“Next Monday, we will start the formal process of my presidential campaign, and I invite you all to join us. I pledge to continue defending workers’ wages and benefits because we know that when workers succeed, businesses and Mexico succeed.”
