Overview
- The strike began on October 1, 2025 and shut roughly 302 Nacional Monte de Piedad branches across Mexico, leaving thousands of clients unable to collect pledged items despite having paid.
- Nacional Monte de Piedad says contracts remain active so customers must keep making refrendos and payments through Mi Monte App, SPEI or OXXO even though paid items stay secured in branch vaults.
- A February 2026 court granted an amparo declaring the strike 'inexistent', the case reached the Supreme Court as amparo en revisión 33/2026 for review, and the legal dispute has kept operations suspended.
- The Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social reports more than 30 trilateral meetings without agreement, but recent reports say union and management could sign a pact at the STPS that would need ratification by the federal conciliator before branches reopen.
- Affected customers face interest accrual, risk of item deterioration and long delays to recover family valuables, and are being steered to PROFECO's CONCILIAEXPRÉS or the Federal Labor Tribunal if they can prove payment and seek return of goods.
