SAT Workers Plan Nationwide 'Brazos Caídos' Protest on Tuesday

The action responds to the tax authority’s failure to apply the Conasami‑approved 2025 wage increase.

Overview

  • Employees are set to report at 8:00 a.m. on October 14 and refrain from normal duties in a peaceful work stoppage designed to make their demands visible.
  • Workers say the 12% minimum‑wage adjustment published in the Diario Oficial for 2025 was not applied to SAT staff, with organizers noting an October 10 post on X confirmed there would be no raise this year.
  • They also cite long‑standing issues including restricted vacation scheduling, pay gaps between liaison and unionized staff, unpaid overtime, shortages of basic office supplies, and the absence of lactation facilities.
  • Organizers emphasize they aim not to inconvenience taxpayers, but they warn the movement could escalate if internal authorities do not respond after the protest.
  • As of the latest reports, SAT leadership had not issued an official statement, and some outlets caution that services could slow or face delays during the stoppage.
