Mexican judiciary workers ended a nationwide strike after authorities agreed to provide essential supplies and pay back wages. The strike, covering several states, was caused by resource shortages and mass layoffs.


Mexican Judiciary Halts Strike After Negotiations

The leader of the National Union of Renewal, Jorge Alberto Prado, announced the end of the strike after a meeting with representatives of the judiciary. The strike, which began on Friday morning in Mexico City, Jalisco, Nuevo León, and Guanajuato, was called off at noon. The reason was not only the proposed meeting but also the authorities' commitment to provide toners nationwide and the necessary supplies for institutions where they were needed. According to Prado, it was agreed that today would be a non-working day, and no worker would be held responsible for their absence. The strike was organized by the National Union of Renewation, led by Jorge Alberto Prado, who is close to Judge Juana Fuentes of the Association of Judges and Magistrates. Workers demanded the payment of back wages, condemned the unjustified dismissal of more than 5,000 employees, and the lack of supplies in all courts and tribunals. In their statement, they emphasized the 'severe shortage' of essential supplies such as printers, paper, as well as water, cafeteria services, and unfilled positions. It was previously documented that the Presidency of the Supreme Court was funding the creation of content in these chat groups. During the protest, workers used the same channels they did last year against the judicial reform in the Congress of the Union. Opponents of the 4T government, such as workers' spokeswoman Patricia Aguayo, also used these groups to expose irregularities during the Judicial Election in June. The Judicial Administration Body announced that 16 properties in various cities were temporarily closed, representing approximately 5.3% of all judicial buildings. 95% of the buildings continued their normal operations. The new president-minister of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, Hugo Aguilar, faced his first major test.
