Overview
- The union that represents about 90% of postal staff said the walkout is imminent after fruitless talks with SEPOMEX officials.
- The stoppage would be the first strike at the national postal service in nearly 40 years.
- If it proceeds, more than 10,000 workers would stop work and red-and-black strike flags would go up at about 3,800 facilities.
- Deliveries would pause across the country, with the union estimating up to 98 million shipments could be affected in the next quarter.
- Workers demand filling about 2,500 vacant posts, roadworthy vehicles, clean facilities, usable uniforms, fair workloads, and higher pay, citing carriers paid below the legal minimum and staff covering fuel and repairs under security risks.
