Mexico: Health workers plan to march in Zacatecas March 8

Event

Workers from Section 39 of National Union of Workers of the Secretary of Health (Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Secretaria de Salud, Sntsa) have called for a demonstration in central Zacetaca the morning of June 8. The protest is denouncing the government's failure to meet their demands for better working conditions. Protesters plan to gather at Zacatecas Railway station (Maquina 30-30) at 08:00 before embarking on a march at 08:30 to Plaza de Armas.

The Sntsa maintains that there will be no impact on medical services, but related disruptions remain possible. Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions are likely. Clashes between police and protesters could occur.

Advice

Avoid all protests as a precaution. Confirm medical appointments June 8. Plan for localized transport disruptions near the demonstration sites and march route. Comply with all directives from authorities.
