In Pátzcuaro, the Comision Federal de Electricidad delivers the light, as (as I understand it) it does in most of Mexico.<br /><br />The CFE is a well-organized entity. Setting up an account and paying it is high-tech and smooth. And service throughout the year is flawless.<br /><br />The union gang that delivers our light in DF is stuck in the past. Dealing with your account there is a matter of not simply physically going to a gang office and waiting in interminable lines, you must go to the specific gang office where you opened your account way back when, even if there is one down the block from where you work, which would be far easier to visit.<br /><br />And most everything is done by hand and on typewriters like it was done in 1940. Freaking amazing!<br /><br />Since I live in DF only a small part of the year, I am not personally (thank God) acquainted with all the other elements of lousy service I hear of.<br /><br />Mexico City will love the CFE. It´s great our President Calderón is doing this modernization of the electric service.<br /><br />And it´s great he´s taking on yet another hidebound, corrupt union that pretends to help its members but really just lines the pockets of the union bosses while delivering colossally bad service to customers.<br /><br />I love Calderón. Wish I could vote for him again.Felipehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01720359542700663699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19937732.post-90526256983881186482009-11-15T20:39:58.563-06:002009-11-15T20:39:58.563-06:00Why isn&#39;t the world hearing about this modern day dictatorship going on in Mexico? Why is the only news heard about the great deed the president did and not about the 50,000 workers left without work (and this was the only union that had decent laws for its workers like no overtime without pay)? It is amazing and totally incomprehensible that this could happen. Shame on this president and shame on the news media that doesn&#39;t report the truth and doesn&#39;t let the world know about this!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19937732.post-59621392092919681022009-11-13T09:54:27.551-06:002009-11-13T09:54:27.551-06:00And to think that unions were once a positive element in society.Felipehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01720359542700663699noreply@blogger.com
