The process for electing union leadership is important for all workers, as it helps strengthen union democracy in Mexico through various mechanisms, such as:

  • Guarantees for the free expression of union members’ will to elect their representatives through a free, direct, secret, and personal vote (effective voting).
  • Establishment of clear and transparent rules for holding leadership positions and decision-making roles within the union.
  • Creation of opportunities for union members to run for positions in union leadership.
  • Promotion of gender equality, encouraging the participation of women union members.
