INBAL Museums Close Temporarily as Workers Press for Electronic Uniform Cards

INBAL says current norms permit only physical delivery of garments, blocking the electronic-card change sought by union sections.

Overview

  • Sections of unionized staff suspended activities on September 9, leading to temporary closure of museums across the institute’s network.
  • Workers are demanding that work clothing and equipment be provided through electronic cards so they can purchase items directly.
  • INBAL says it cannot comply under the applicable rules, which authorize only physical handover of garments, and it expressed regret for disruptions and willingness to engage in dialogue.
  • Traffic authorities reported that demonstrators briefly closed Paseo de la Reforma at Insurgentes in the morning before moving to the lateral lane, producing localized delays.
  • High-profile venues such as the Palacio de Bellas Artes and the Munal were reported closed as part of the stoppage.
