Mexico: Unionized education workers prepare protest march outside Casa Michoacan in Morelia, Jan. 29

Unionized education workers from the National Coordinator of Education Workers (Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educacion, CNTE) are gathering for a protest march in Morelia, Michoacan, on Jan. 29. The purpose of the action is to demand a 50 percent salary increase, among various other labor-related requests. Participants aimed to gather at Casa Michoacan from 09:00 and are expected to march to the Directorate of Civil Pensions of the State of Michoacan located on Calzada La Huerta.

The march will likely result in localized transport disruptions throughout its duration. Police will likely deploy to monitor the gathering as a precaution; violence is unlikely but cannot be ruled out.
