The National Union for the Renewal of Workers of the Federal Judicial Power announced a national strike for October 31, maintaining only guard services for strictly urgent cases. From 5:00 in the morning, workers blocked access to key buildings such as the headquarters of the new Judicial Administration Body (OAJ), the Palace of Justice of San Lázaro, and the Prisma Building. We are suspending our work in a work stoppage. The union leader, Jorge Alberto Prado, was firm in announcing the measure of force. Through a video, he declared: 'We are suspending our work in a work stoppage,' and asked workers not to report to their workplaces. Prado clarified that this strike 'is not a whim, but due to the lack of supplies and mass layoffs that have affected families,' thus justifying the protest that has left the federal justice system in suspense. Among the shortages motivating the protest, workers denounce the lack of basic supplies to perform their duties, such as printers, paper, stationery, the lack of water service, and the absence or deficiency of cafeterias. The labor movement expressed four central demands: The immediate cessation of the dismissal of public servants; The replacement of the positions that have been eliminated; The fulfillment of the annual salary increase that was agreed upon; The corresponding retroactive payment for said increase. Prado concluded his message by stating that, despite the strike, the doors of the judicial buildings will remain open for those who have to present a brief or amparo in case of urgency, thus maintaining a minimum service for critical issues.
