Pemex Workers in Tabasco March Over Contract and Pension Disputes

Union leaders seek a direct Pemex agreement to reverse what they call harmful terms.

Overview

  • Hundreds from Section 44 marched in Villahermosa during the oil expropriation anniversary to denounce a “leonine” collective contract and a pension system they say harms the rank and file.
  • Section 44 secretary general José de Jesús Zamudio Aguilera led the protest and proposed a nationwide pact between Pemex and the union to implement immediate corrective measures.
  • Protesters demanded dignified treatment for workers and framed their appeal as an urgent effort to safeguard retirement and labor rights.
  • In Veracruz, Pemex unionized and retired workers held a separate rally to decry poor medical care and medicine shortages affecting more than 20,000 beneficiaries.
  • In Tamaulipas, thousands gathered for the anniversary commemoration and voiced support for President Claudia Sheinbaum’s push in the energy sector.
