He had a degree in law from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Gamboa Pascoe was the general secretary of the Federal District Federation of Workers (in Spanish: Federación de Trabajadores del Distrito Federal, FTDF) and from August 9, 2005, until his death, he was the general secretary of the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM), the largest confederation of labor unions in the country.
