Division among PJF workers regarding maintaining the strike

Mexico City. Opinions are divided among rank-and-file workers, magistrates and judges regarding whether to continue the strike in the Federal Judicial Branch (PJF), acknowledged Patricia Aguayo, spokesperson for one of the groups that oppose judicial reform.

Interviewed after a group of workers held two demonstrations, one at the Mexican Stock Exchange and another at the facilities of the United States Embassy in Mexico located on Paseo de la Reforma, Aguayo, who works as secretary at the Tenth Collegiate Court on Labor Matters, said that this Friday the members of the movement opposed to judicial reform will vote on whether to maintain the work stoppage or restart activities.

He said that if the majority of workers approve the suspension of work until October 2, they will continue with their protests and will not carry out any activities in the jurisdictional bodies.
“I know that there are divided opinions because I have spoken with my colleagues, but here we have to determine how many want to return to work and how many want to extend this activity until October 2.”

He explained that they will also meet with representatives of magistrates and judges on this day – the National Association of Circuit Magistrates and District Judges (JUFED) – to analyse and establish the effects that the continuation of the strike would have.
