Peru civil construction workers holiday and labor demands

Overview

The Federation of Civil Construction Workers of Peru (FTCCP) announced that the Civil Construction Workers’ Day, originally scheduled for October 25, 2026, will be observed on Monday, October 26, due to the official date falling on a Sunday. Under Legislative Decree No. 713, this adjustment ensures the paid union holiday is transferred to the following Monday.

In the Puno region, worker Giancarlo Rodríguez has called on regional and provincial authorities to issue a formal resolution recognizing the compensatory day off. Beyond the holiday recognition, Rodríguez raised concerns regarding alleged irregularities in the distribution of work equipment and noted that wages in Puno appear lower than in neighboring regions such as Arequipa, Tacna, Moquegua, and Cusco. He estimated that between 7,000 and 10,000 construction workers operate within the Puno region and expressed dissatisfaction with current union representation.
