CNTE Launches 48-Hour Strike With Toll Takeover and Marches to Press Pension Negotiations

The union seeks a reinstated meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum focused on repealing the 2007 ISSSTE pension law.

Overview

  • Section 22 seized the San Marcos toll booth on the MéxicoPuebla highway, lifted the barriers and allowed free passage with roughly 300 participants.
  • Section XVIII began a march in Morelia from Casa Michoacán to the Centro Histórico, slowing traffic along the libramiento, Calzada Juárez and Avenida Madero before a rally at the Palacio de Gobierno.
  • The nationwide paro spans November 13–14 with coordinated blockades and mobilizations intended to pressure the federal government to reopen negotiations.
  • Core demands include scrapping ISSSTE 2007, restoring solidarity pensions, allowing retirement by years of service and granting a 100% salary increase.
  • CNTE said it will not establish a sit-in at the Zócalo and distanced itself from any confrontation related to a Generation Z march planned for November 15.
