Michoacán Health Unions Occupy SSM Offices and Morelia Clinic Over Uniforms, Basification and Benefits

State health officials say services run normally, with payroll obligations current despite the blockades.

Overview

  • Union groups blocked administrative areas at SSM headquarters and the Morelia Centro de Salud, with an additional action at the Health Intelligence Center housed in the Blood Bank.
  • Organizers demand delivery of overdue uniforms from 2023 to 2025, permanent status for temporary staff, year‑end benefits, and completion of pending prerogatives for personnel formalized in 2014–2016.
  • Protesters also seek to halt a second‑stage transfer of non‑permanent workers to IMSS‑Bienestar, arguing it would erode job stability and benefits.
  • SSM says statewide care remains uninterrupted, notes that personnel across 17 unions continue working, and reports no arrears in pay or benefits after a review with a commission of state deputies.
  • Reports differ on participation, with some outlets citing three unions and others at least four, and organizers vow to maintain sit‑ins until a formal working table is established.
