IMSS Implements 8% Pay Rise as Workers Continue Nationwide Protests

The agreement divides the raise between base pay and rent aid, a choice that has raised union receipts and left calls for a 10% tabular increase unresolved.

El aumento salarial global de 8% para trabajadores del IMSS contempla 4% directo al sueldo tabular y otro 4% en ayuda para renta, pero mantiene la inconformidad de empleados que exigen un incremento de 10% al salario base. (El Universal)

Overview

  • The IMSS and national SNTSS leadership applied an 8% global increase that is retroactive to October 16, 2026.
  • The raise is split into 4% added to salary tabular and 4% paid as housing rent aid (Concept 11), so most employees did not receive a full 8% increase to base pay.
  • The union leadership accepted the deal without a new membership vote and said it had no statutory duty to re-consult, a decision that many rank‑and‑file workers reject.
  • Workers organized large protests and a national megamarch on October 30 and plan an assembly for October 31 to decide next steps while some say they will explore legal challenges.
  • Because dues are calculated from total pay, the applied increase raised the absolute amount remitted to the union and has intensified demands for a 10% tabular rise and restoration of pension terms.
