Overview
- The CRT confirmed it will not pay roughly 50 million pesos in severance to former free‑designation IFT employees, citing their signed termination papers.
- Ex‑workers said the baja they signed on October 16 formalized the institute’s extinction rather than a rights waiver, and they protested outside the former IFT headquarters.
- The agency reported the claimant group shrank from 133 to 89 after some people withdrew, and it advised the remainder to pursue claims before labor authorities.
- Documents indicate several ex‑employees already collected MetLife separation insurance that required proof of termination and drew on public funds, a factor officials say precludes a second payout.
- Stenographic records show the IFT Plenary limited indemnities to career‑service staff, and coordination with the Finance Ministry over a 2,560‑million‑peso trust stalled during the transition.
