Overview
- Technical secondary teachers in Oaxaca launched road blockades to demand payment of overtime they say has been owed for a decade.
- Union representative Rafael Vásquez Cortés reported 10,133 overtime hours are owed to 1,383 educators and said authorities are trading blame over the funds.
- The federal Education Secretariat, led by Mario Delgado, denied that the state returned the allocated money and indicated the only available option is tapping 2026 budget resources.
- Oaxaca’s education institute director Emilio Montero said the demand has been addressed and attributed delays to teachers submitting documentation late.
- CNTE leaders walked out of a 10-hour tripartite session led by Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez, issued an ultimatum for a proposal by next Monday, and reaffirmed demands including repeal of the 2007 ISSSTE law.
