CRT Agrees to Seek Hacienda Funds to Pay Severance for 133 Former IFT Appointees

Payment depends on a Hacienda-controlled trust that the new regulator must formally tap.

Overview

  • The telecommunications regulator formally committed to begin démarches with the Finance Ministry to secure roughly 128 million pesos in indemnizations.
  • The agreement followed a protest outside the former IFT offices and a dialogue session that included the ATDT director of administration and finance, with another meeting set for Tuesday.
  • Former staff will initiate labor conciliation procedures as the CRT maintains ongoing communication on timelines and expected payments.
  • Before its extinction, the IFT transferred its severance trust to Hacienda, which now controls disbursements from a fund reported at 2,560 million pesos in the second quarter.
  • Reporting notes that other dissolved autonomous bodies have recognized severance for comparable staff, leaving the IFT case as a notable outstanding liability.
