Electricians Union Marches on Paseo de la Reforma, Demanding Labor Rights and Fair Tariffs

Members of the Mexican Electricians' Union (SME) are currently marching along the prominent Paseo de la Reforma avenue in Mexico City, heading towards the Zócalo. The demonstration, which began around 8:00 a.m. from the union's headquarters on Antonio Caso street, is causing significant traffic disruptions in the Cuauhtémoc borough.

The union's demands include the reintegration of workers into their jobs, the upholding of rights for retired members, and the establishment of a fair social electricity tariff. The march is expected to impact traffic flow considerably, prompting authorities to issue advisories for motorists.

Capital authorities have recommended that drivers take alternative routes, such as Avenida Chapultepec, to avoid the congestion caused by the protest. The mobilization underscores ongoing labor and social demands within the electricity sector in Mexico.
