Tamaulipas teachers weigh migrating to SITEM over retirement system

In Tamaulipas, Miguel Ángel Tovar Tapia, president of the state association of teachers and parents, warned that the Sindicato Independiente de los Trabajadores de México (SITEM) is creating its own retirement savings system, which could attract teachers away from the SARTET. This development is presented as an alternative for teachers in the state and could influence movement from the current retirement scheme.

The report indicates that teachers’ migration toward SITEM would depend on the new retirement mechanism, set against criticisms of the SARTET. The situation highlights ongoing tensions around retirement provisions for educators in the state.

In the health sector, Vectores de Salud in Tamaulipas announced a work-to-rule strike by 75 workers due to unpaid per diems for the first quarter. Union leader Adolfo Sierra Medina stated that the workers will begin the action to protest the outstanding payments.
