The National Union of Workers of the Collective Transport System (STC) Metro stated that it could intensify protest actions and reinforce the strike scheduled for the coming days, if an agreement is not reached with the authorities regarding their labor and security demands. The union organization emphasized that it will continue to raise its voice as long as the demands related to working conditions and the state of the transport system are not met, which they consider to be in a state of deep deterioration. Demands focused on security and working conditions. Through a statement, the union pointed out that the Metro is facing a scenario of 'extreme vulnerability,' derived from what they classify as a normalized systemic risk and advanced obsolescence in various network components. Among the main complaints are the conditions of the tracks, trains, and operational equipment, which, according to the workers themselves, require urgent attention to ensure the safety of both personnel and users. The union has also insisted that its demands are not only labor-focused but are directly related to the quality of service that millions of people use daily in the capital. Warning of greater union pressure. The union warned that if there is no progress in the negotiation with the STC authorities, pressure measures could be reinforced, including the continuation or expansion of the strike. This stance is added to the recent service disruptions, where the reduction of operations has generated delays, saturation on platforms, and complications for users of the transport system. The workers stated that the objective of their actions is to achieve that their petitions are addressed and a safe and functional transport system is guaranteed for both employees and citizenship.
