SAT Work Stoppage Enters Day Two With Limited Service Disruptions

Officials report limited closures, say talks continue without a resolution on pay or benefits.

Overview

  • SAT said 155 of 162 offices operated normally, with service suspended in Chihuahua, Celaya, Guadalajara Sur, Zapopan, and Mexico City’s Oriente and Sur sites.
  • The agency rescheduled 3,258 taxpayer appointments nationwide—about 5%—and directed users to its chat service and Marca SAT phone line for assistance.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum estimated about 400 participants out of 25,000 employees and said requests such as private medical insurance conflict with public‑sector rules.
  • Protesting trust staff seek application of the 2025 pay increase or retroactive pay, restoration of benefits cut since 2018, and fixes to staffing, workloads, and basic office conditions.
  • Workers maintained road blockades in Mexico City, including on Viaducto Río de la Piedad and near Paseo de la Reforma, and signaled actions could continue absent a broader agreement.
