Overview
- The labor stoppage that began on 1 October 2025 has kept more than 300 Nacional Monte de Piedad branches closed and has no announced reopening date.
- The institution published an extraordinary calendar that shifts contracts with August 2026 commercialization dates to January 2027 and postpones public sales of unredeemed items.
- Nacional Monte de Piedad says pledged goods remain in its vaults but that interest will continue to accrue daily under existing contract terms.
- Thousands of customers cannot retrieve items, including people who say they fully paid their loans, and some users are demanding a 30 percent compensation or filing complaints with Profeco or labor channels.
- The strike has reduced a key short‑term credit source for low‑income households and could force affected families to seek costlier alternatives while mediation by the STPS has yet to produce a final agreement.
