Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores Petroleros de la República Mexicana

The Sindicato de Trabajadores Petroleros de la República Mexicana (STPRM) is a trade union of oil workers in Mexico. It is the union for workers at the Mexican, state run, oil company Pemex.[1] The union signed its first collective bargaining agreement with Pemex in 1942.[2] In 2001, it was discovered that funds from the union were being illegally diverted to the campaign of Francisco Labastida by the union chief Carlos Romero Deschamps in a scandal known as Pemexgate.[1] Eleven other officials, including the union treasurer, then senator Ricardo Aldana, were implicated in the crime.[1] The union worked on obtaining a refund of diverted funds in late 2003.[3]
