Overview
- The march began from Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI and moved toward the Zócalo on Monday, November 9, with a planned stop at the Senate to present the workers' demands.
- Protesters include active staff, retirees and pensioners who reject the Oct. 21 deal that set an 8% global increase split between tabular pay and housing support and instead demand a 10% increase to base salary.
- Organizers also call for the immediate removal of SNTSS leader Rafael Olivos Hernández and an extraordinary national congress to investigate alleged irregularities in union leadership.
- The security authority in Mexico City deployed a traffic control plan and public transit operators warned of possible Metro and Metrobús disruptions on routes crossing Cuauhtémoc, Reforma and the Centro Histórico.
- The mobilization follows national assemblies and wider sectoral support from Pemex and Luz y Fuerza del Centro and could pressure IMSS leadership to reopen negotiations while causing continued strain on hospital logistics and patient access.
