Tijuana Tech University Staff End Strike After Deal to Pay Retroactive Raises April 1

The deal sets a firm date for overdue back pay after a one-day stoppage.

Overview

  • UTT said it reached an agreement after same-day talks, ending the stoppage and restarting classes that afternoon, then in both shifts the next day.
  • The university said retroactive pay for 2025 and early 2026 will be deposited on April 1 with the regular paycheck.
  • About 400 workers took part, including roughly 300 teachers, pausing classes to press for clarity on vacation pay and leave known as economic days.
  • Teachers sought a 4% raise to base pay plus 2% in benefits, saying the adjustments were promised but delayed.
  • Union leaders are still talking with Baja California’s Education and Government Secretariats about a pension trust to help about 25 older staff who fall short of ISSSTECALI, the state pension system, requirements.
