Mexico City: Workers at a General Motors Co (GM) car plant in Mexico have voted in favour of joining the Carlos Leone union as its collective bargaining agent, reversing a trend in which workers were breaking ties with company-friendly labour groups for new independent ones that secured wage gains.
Carlos Leone was elected to represent GM’s 6,500 workers in San Luis Potosí with 1,888 votes, beating independent group Sinttia’s 1,115 votes, according to a statement issued by Mexico’s Labour Ministry. Participation reached 50.5%.
