Mexico, FSTSE Seal Year-End Deal for 14,900-Peso Grocery Vouchers to Federal Workers

Union leaders said a single December disbursement, agreed with the Finance Ministry, is designed to reinforce purchasing power.

Overview

  • The agreement grants 14,900 pesos in year-end grocery vouchers to each active federal employee.
  • Payment will be made in one installment starting in December, according to the FSTSE.
  • The amount represents about a 2.8% increase—roughly 400 pesos—compared with 2024.
  • Nearly two million public servants are covered, with an estimated economic spillover exceeding 15 billion pesos.
  • FSTSE cast the accord as part of a broader push for job permanence, ISSSTE strengthening and union autonomy, and it publicly credited President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration.
