Alfredo Domínguez Marrufo is scheduled to end his term as director general of Mexico’s Federal Center for Labor Conciliation and Registration (CFCRL) on July 29.
The departure marks a transition for the agency responsible for mediating labor disputes and maintaining employment records across the country.
José Luis Sánchez Cuazitl has emerged as the leading candidate to succeed Domínguez Marrufo.
The Mexican Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS), led by Secretary Marath Bolaños López, is reportedly backing Sánchez Cuazitl for the top role.
The appointment would require formal submission to President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has not yet finalized the nomination.
The leadership change occurs as markets monitor broader policy shifts in Mexico.
