Veracruz labor reform conciliation boards Luis Arturo Santiago Martínez Centers of Conciliation

The Veracruz state labor secretary, Luis Arturo Santiago Martínez, announced that three Juntas de Conciliación y Arbitraje will be closed this year as part of the state's labor reform. The closures affect the boards in Tuxpan, Xalapa and Coatzacoalcos.

Veracruz originally operated 16 of these boards; after the three closures, ten will remain pending resolution of outstanding cases. The reform aims to eliminate three boards per year, shifting responsibilities to strengthened Centers of Conciliation, which already resolve about 86 % of labor disputes. No specific date has been set for the complete disappearance of all boards.
