SAT Workers Stage Nationwide Work-to-Rule as Agency Reports 155 of 162 Offices Operating

Officials say most offices stayed open, with talks underway after workers pressed for a 12% raise.

Overview

  • Employees mounted a coordinated 'brazos caídos' protest on October 14 over an unpaid 12% wage adjustment tied to the 2025 minimum wage and broader workplace grievances.
  • The SAT said taxpayer attention continues in most locations and listed full service suspensions in Chihuahua, Celaya, Guadalajara Sur, Zapopan, and Mexico City’s Oriente and Sur offices.
  • Authorities pledged to reprogram missed appointments via email and directed users to official channels such as Chat uno a uno and the Marca SAT phone line for assistance.
  • In Mexico City, demonstrators carried out blockades on Paseo de la Reforma and Viaducto Río de la Piedad, causing traffic disruptions and interrupting in‑person services like e.firma and RFC procedures.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum described the action as involving few workers and not a serious institutional problem, while organizers signaled potential escalation if negotiations do not yield concrete responses.
