Mexico City Metro Strike Suspended After Agreements Reached

The 12 lines will offer full service throughout the schedule. Aspects of the meeting are still unknown, including whether there will be a salary increase for workers soon, or if more money will be allocated to service and train maintenance, as well as other measures related to safety. What do Metro CDMX workers ask for? Workers of the Mexico City Metro halted part of their operations this Monday, April 13, after accusing the service of not meeting international protocols. “The system is practically collapsed despite the fact that we have timely, for the past five months and consecutively, exposed the most urgent issues,” said engineer Fernando Espino in an interview with Ciro Gómez Leyva. The staggered stoppage of the Metro affected around 800 trips after workers refused to work overtime. Adrián Rubalcava, director of the collective system, reported that after dialogue with the workers' union, led by engineer Fernando Espino, a series of agreements were reached and starting Tuesday, April 14, the service will operate normally. “Both parties have agreed that the priority is to maintain the transport system, improve the trains, the tracks, and the safety of the users,” explained Rubalcava. The Metro director added that they will seek improvements in the working conditions of the workers, which was one of the main demands of the union. Rubalcava reiterated that the intention is to work together to solve the Metro's problems, in addition to thanking the users for their patience due to the delays recorded this Monday, April 13. The union recognized Clara Brugada for her openness to dialogue, as well as the fact that the agreements reached are for the benefit of the users. Will there be delays in Metro CDMX on April 15 due to the union's protests? The Mexico City Metro reported that starting Tuesday the service will be regular, and after the agreements reached this Monday, the workers' strike would be suspended.
