Michoacán Governor Says CNTE’s 48-Hour Walkout Tied to National Call, Not ‘Plan Michoacán

Teachers plan a Nov. 13–14 stoppage tied to a wider CNTE push seeking more funding, legal rollbacks, renewed federal talks.

Overview

  • Sección XVIII of the CNTE announced a 48-hour strike for Nov. 13–14, saying classroom educators were excluded from the recently unveiled Plan Michoacán por la Paz y la Justicia.
  • Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla countered that the stoppage stems from a national CNTE call issued weeks earlier and not from the plan’s rollout.
  • The governor said dialogue with teachers remains ongoing, noting Education Secretary Gaby Molina is in permanent contact with union representatives.
  • A CNTE national call outlines protests across states and Mexico City to press for the repeal of education and labor measures, including abrogation of the 2007 ISSSTE law and a return to talks with President Claudia Sheinbaum.
  • Union demands in Michoacán also include higher education budgets, security and health improvements, repeal of the Ley General del Sicamm, and reinstatement of a negotiation table with the Presidency, while the state signaled a forthcoming scholarship for initial and preschool levels.
