Overview

  • Union leaders secured commitments on July 23 to disburse suspended bonuses for health and basic-basket allowances by the end of July and mid-August.
  • Clinic and hospital staff report medicine and medical supply stocks at just 25–30 percent capacity, hampering patient care.
  • More than 100 CDMX police officers used force to evict demonstrators outside the Insurgentes Sur headquarters on July 23, prompting union demands for investigations.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said non-basified contract workers can be reassigned to health centers as part of ongoing regularization efforts.
  • Unions warn they will resume strikes and block major roads if all negotiated demands, including timely payments and formalized positions, are not met.
