Overview
- The Judicial Administration body rejected a union request to declare October 30–31 non-working days and instructed courts and offices to operate normally on Friday.
- The Sindicato Nacional de Renovación called a nationwide “brazo caído” for October 31, saying only urgent guard duties would continue.
- Union leaders cite mass dismissals tied to the reform, shortages of basic supplies such as printers, paper, toner and drinking water, and unmet commitments on wage increases and retroactive pay.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said about 6 billion pesos are available to pay indemnities, with roughly 800 displaced judges awaiting payments set by law as three months’ salary plus 20 days per year of service, and the judiciary to define disbursements.
- Participation in the stoppage is expected to vary by state and office, leaving the extent of service disruptions uncertain.
