Claudia Sheinbaum to meet Oaxaca's Section 22 CNTE on Aug 13 in Mexico City
During a weekend tour of Oaxaca, President Claudia Sheinbaum was approached by teachers from Section 22 of the Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE). The union handed her a petition that demanded school uniforms for the 2024‑2025 cycle, the completion of pending hiring and recategorisation processes, and the repeal of the 2007 ISSSTE law. Sheinbaum agreed to a formal work‑table with the Section 22 representatives on Thursday 13 August 2026 at 11:00 a.m. in the Palacio Nacional, Mexico City. The meeting will be attended by Oaxaca Governor Salomón Jara and will involve only Section 22, not the national CNTE leadership. The agreement follows weeks of protests, blockades of the president’s vehicle in Santiago Suchilquitongo, and a June 17 minute‑of‑understanding that the teachers say has not been honoured.
The president said she would listen to the teachers’ proposals and seek concrete solutions to the pending demands, while maintaining her schedule in Oaxaca for social‑program launches and infrastructure projects.
