Overview

  • Delegates voted unanimously on Aug. 26 to deposit a strike notice with a potential start at 19:00 on Sept. 18 over contract violations and unpaid benefits.
  • The April 1, 2025 agreement obliges the university to pay 68,135,000 pesos to settle union aid and grocery‑voucher arrears from December 2019 and all of 2020.
  • Most members received a first tranche on April 2 covering December 2019 and January to March 2020, with the next payment due Aug. 30 under the accord.
  • Union leaders accuse rector Yarabí Ávila of not recognizing the legacy debt and cite unpaid items such as scholarships, work materials, life insurance, retirements and promotions.
  • SUEUM says it will keep the claim inside the strike filing and could add actions if the university misses the Aug. 30 payment.
