Guerrero Teachers Seize Toll Booths, Close Education Offices Over Unpaid Bonuses

No officials engaged the demonstrators, prompting plans to escalate.

Overview

  • Ceteg-affiliated teachers with retirees took over the Palo Blanco toll booth on the Autopista del Sol to press a petition on overdue payments.
  • Protesters closed the D-III-16-02 education delegation offices in Chilpancingo to demand delivery of delayed benefits.
  • Demands include incorporating more than 2,500 administrative workers into the federal FONE payroll fund.
  • Teachers seek payment of pantry bonuses for PAAE staff and the second installment of the year-end bonus that Ceteg says has been pending since December for over 11,000 employees.
  • SNTE-linked teachers in Iguala and Tepecoacuilco blocked another toll booth, as the groups withdrew at midday and announced plans to intensify actions in Chilpancingo.
