Overview
- Union leaders, whose case goes before a federal labor tribunal on Tuesday, say talks have not resolved complaints and the May 1 walkout still looms.
- The SNTSPM represents about 90% of postal staff and warns more than 3,000 sites would close, pausing service for over 10,000 workers and freezing a network that handles roughly 98 million shipments each quarter.
- Workers cite breaches of the collective contract, pay so low some carriers earn below the legal minimum, and more than 2,500 vacant posts left unfilled since 2018 that have pushed heavier routes onto fewer people.
- Correos de México says it has kept dialogue open with the Labor Ministry, delivered uniforms, bicycles and vehicles, and hired over 500 operational employees, steps it plans to detail in Tuesday’s hearing.
- A strike would delay utility bills, bank statements and government notices, with the sharpest impact in places with limited internet access, after months of protests in late 2025 and early 2026 where staff reported paying for fuel and repairs out of pocket.
