Labor litigation in the CFE: doubling in 2025
New labor lawsuits against the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) doubled during 2025. According to the company’s annual report, 20,036 cases were reached.
In 2024, 9,944 processes were registered. In 2023 there were only 2,206. Specialists attribute the increase to tensions over working conditions, layoffs and benefits.
The CFE recognizes this scenario as a liability due to legal contingencies. It allocated 14,478 million pesos in 2025 to face possible adverse resolutions.
According to the report, the lawsuits include requests for reinstatement, recognition of seniority, pension adjustments, application of collective contracts and claims for benefits.
The company affirms that it has strengthened conciliation mechanisms. However, specialists warn that the increase in demands could reflect structural problems that affect the productivity and operation of the energy sector.
