Mexico Judicial Administration Organ abrogates performance evaluation agreement
The Judicial Administration Organ (OAJ) has officially abrogated General Agreement AG-POAJ-025/2026, which sought to regulate the performance evaluation process for federal judicial career personnel in Mexico. The decision followed a series of national protests and work stoppages by judicial employees who argued the new criteria threatened their job security and included subjective metrics.
The move follows negotiations held on November 7 involving the President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), Hugo Aguilar Ortiz, and leaders from three judicial unions. While initial negotiations aimed to modify the agreement to remove punitive measures and subjective factors, the OAJ ultimately decided to repeal the agreement entirely during an extraordinary session on Monday.
Despite the repeal, judicial workers in several cities, including Mexico City, Toluca, Querétaro, Monterrey, and Hermosillo, have maintained various levels of protest. Many employees demand that the formal changes be published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) before they resume full duties to ensure legal certainty regarding their employment stability.
