The reduction of working hours must be accompanied by strategies that increase productivity and the added value of work, as Salvador Maese, president of INDEX Mexicali, argued when he proposed hourly pay as a viable alternative.
He noted that while reducing hours seeks to improve workers' quality of life, it is necessary to strengthen training and skills development to adapt to an increasingly competitive global environment.
He emphasized that countries such as the United States, Canada, and several in Europe implement hourly pay schemes, which foster individual responsibility and professional growth among workers.
