Judge Declares Monte de Piedad Strike Nonexistent as Union Preps Appeal

Branches remain affected pending review by a colegiado tribunal.

Overview

  • On Feb. 20, a district judge granted Nacional Monte de Piedad an amparo that declared the Oct. 1, 2025 strike nonexistent, citing failures to follow the union’s own statutes.
  • Union leaders say the walkout stands and will file a recurso de revisión before a colegiado tribunal, with the option to seek Supreme Court review.
  • The dispute has shuttered roughly 300 branches and affected about 2,000–2,300 workers nationwide since the stoppage began.
  • The institution says reopening is getting closer and urges dialogue with workers, though no date has been provided.
  • Mexico City’s Congress asked the Junta de Asistencia Privada to conduct a review of the Patronato’s management and finances following transparency concerns raised by employees.
