Mexico Today: Union Talks, Corruption Concerns, and Aeromexico Strike Looms

Mexico City, May 28, 2025 – Today's news from Mexico includes developments in ongoing labor negotiations and the government's efforts to address social and political issues. The Mexican government, through the Secretariat of Governance (SEGOB) and the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP), has formally called on the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) to maintain open dialogue and work towards solutions. While the government seeks peaceful resolutions, there's also concern about the lack of progress in the national anti-corruption system. "Ten years after its establishment, the system has yet to deliver conclusive results," stated a spokesperson from the Secretariat of the Public Function. Meanwhile, the flight attendants' union at Aeromexico is threatening a strike on June 1st if negotiations for a 12% wage increase aren't met. They cite a 30% accumulated inflation since 2020 as justification for their demands. The situation underscores the complex challenges facing Mexico, balancing social needs with economic realities.
