Overview
- Members of the Sindicato Nacional de Renovación launched a national “brazos caídos” stoppage on October 31 over unpaid annual raises, retroactive pay, and shortages of basic supplies.
- Union actions closed 16 buildings, including major complexes in Mexico City, disrupting about 5 percent of judicial bodies, according to the Órgano de Administración Judicial.
- After roughly five hours, the OAJ said it reached an understanding to end the protest and immediately reopen affected facilities.
- A dialogue table between the OAJ and union leaders is scheduled for Monday to address pay, workload, overtime, and staffing grievances.
- The dissident group led by Juan Alberto Prado Gómez represents fewer than 1,700 of roughly 34,000 unionized judiciary workers, with most staff affiliated to a larger union led by Jesús González Pimentel.
