Zoé Robledo's permanence at the IMSS is not in doubt: Sheinbaum

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that Zoé Robledo’s position as head of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) remains secure despite ongoing negotiations with the National Union of Social Security Workers (SNTSS) regarding salary increases and workplace conditions. Sheinbaum emphasized that Robledo is working with the union and IMSS workers to address their demands but clarified that her continued leadership is not contingent on resolving these issues. Robledo has been presenting a comprehensive proposal to meet the needs of workers, including staffing, equipment, supplies, and working conditions in hospitals. The Ministry of Finance is also involved in developing new salary proposals. Robledo reiterated through her social media account that the discussions aim to address each worker’s specific concerns and develop actionable plans for each hospital and work center.

President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that Zoé Robledo will remain in her position as head of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), stating there is no doubt about her continued leadership. During her morning press conference, Sheinbaum emphasized that Robledo is working with the National Union of Social Security Workers (SNTSS) and IMSS employees to address their demands regarding salary increases and other concerns. She clarified that Robledo's tenure is not contingent upon resolving these issues. Sheinbaum instructed Robledo to prepare a new salary proposal for IMSS workers following the rejection of a 6.8% raise in a recent vote conducted by the SNTSS. Robledo is presenting an integrated proposal aimed at addressing the workers' needs as much as possible, though she acknowledged some limitations due to financial constraints. The Ministry of Finance will participate in the negotiations to develop this new proposal. The president highlighted that the IMSS is currently in better condition compared to previous administrations, which had focused heavily on privatization. She contrasted the current situation with the tenure of former IMSS director Mikel Arreola, under whom privatization efforts were extensive and costly. On Sunday, Robledo posted on her X account that ongoing discussions with the SNTSS include listening to each worker’s specific needs related to staffing, equipment, supplies, and working conditions in hospitals. By instruction from Sheinbaum, the talks have expanded beyond salary increments to include improvements in working conditions. Robledo stated that plans are being developed to address these issues on a hospital-by-hospital basis, with clear priorities and solutions along with deadlines for implementation. Sheinbaum also addressed several other topics during her press conference, including updates on educational programs such as the Bienestar scholarships and the launch of the Prepa en Línea initiative. Additionally, she commented on the death of a Mexican national in a U.S. immigration facility, indicating that legal action would be taken to investigate the incident. She also spoke about the arrest of former Attorney General of Chihuahua, César Jauregui, noting that investigations into his case continue. Robledo is set to convene a negotiation table with the SNTSS this Thursday to discuss salary matters further. This follows instructions from Sheinbaum to establish a formal negotiation process with IMSS workers.
