Peru Migration Staff Set Nov. 27 Indefinite Strike, Putting Travel Services at Risk

The union cites unfulfilled labor agreements and stalled bills to exit the CAS regime as the trigger.

Overview

  • CAS workers at the National Superintendency of Migrations announced a nationwide, open‑ended stoppage beginning November 27 across all offices.
  • SICASMIGRA says it completed required strike notifications and expects about 800 members to participate in regions including Tumbes, Trujillo, Pucallpa, Lima, Arequipa, Cusco and Tacna.
  • The union warns of delays or suspensions in passport issuance, border checks and airport operations, including controls at Jorge Chávez International Airport.
  • A 2024 Labor Ministry resolution deemed a similar action improper, and an internal source told La República a new illegality ruling could void the planned strike.
  • Migraciones signals openness to talks as the union presses for DL 728 employment through bills 7368/2023-CR and 10625/2024-CR and for enforcement of 2023 collective benefits.
