The federal government resumed its proposal to install technical tables with the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) to analyze possible reforms to the ISSSTE Law of 2007 and the disappearance of Usicamm, one of the central demands of the dissident teachers.

Meeting at the Governor’s Office

The Secretary of Public Education, Mario Delgado, reported that the meeting took place this Tuesday at the Ministry of the Interior, on instructions from President Claudia Sheinbaum. The Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, participated; the governor of Oaxaca, Salomón Jara; and the director of ISSSTE, Martí Batres.

During the meeting, the government reiterated its “absolute respect” for the right to demonstrate and guaranteed safety conditions for teachers and citizens. The proposal for technical tables – raised since October 2024 – seeks to review scenarios to achieve “decent pensions” and build a new employment relationship without Usicamm.

Commitments in Oaxaca

Delgado highlighted that, in one year, more than 50 tripartite meetings have been held with national teacher representation. Regarding Oaxaca, he detailed that in 2024, 682 thousand supports were provided for school supplies and uniforms in basic education, with an investment of more than 829 million pesos.

This year the support will continue through the Rita Cetina Scholarship: 2,500 pesos annually for supplies and uniforms; in secondary school, 1,900 pesos every two months for five two months. In addition, almost half a million pieces of school furniture (tables, chairs, blackboards) were purchased for more than 11,600 schools, with an investment of more than 738 million pesos. Computer equipment worth more than 511 million pesos was also delivered.

The official assured that 100% compliance was made with basifications, recategorizations and hiring of new normal students in 2024: more than 6,700 administrative movements, with an investment of close to 700 million pesos. For this year, there are already movements in process for a purse estimated at 800 million pesos.

Delgado announced that this Wednesday there will be a new working group focused on justice and social security, and that in the coming days the review of the pending agenda will continue.

“With this we demonstrate that dialogue and not confrontation is the way to build agreements,” said the secretary.

Key points from the third round

Between July 21 and 23, Mexico and the United States held the third round of negotiations towards the review of the T-MEC. The central issues were tariffs, labor mechanisms, regional content and rules for sectors such as automotive, steel and aluminum.

The president of the Business Coordinating Council (CCE), José Medina Mora, explained that it was proposed to modify the Rapid Response Labor Mechanism to make it reciprocal. Currently, the investigations only apply to companies in Mexican territory.

“It is necessary that the mechanism be applied equitably between both countries,” said Medina Mora.

Another point of discussion was the United States’ intention to increase American content in products made in the region. Mexico defends the concept of regional content and rejects changes that reduce trilateral integration.

The leader added that the seasonality of agricultural products and the impact of tariffs on steel, aluminum and the automotive industry were also reviewed. Some US automakers in Mexico face higher export costs compared to competitors from Japan, Korea and Europe.

For his part, the president of Coparmex, Juan José Sierra, expressed uncertainty regarding the possibility of annual reviews of the treaty, but valued the dialogue between the partners. He indicated that Mexico requires strengthening legal and energy security and the conditions to attract investment.

“It is positive that communication continues, but we need certainty for investors,” said Sierra.

Concamin pointed out that the joint statement between the Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, and the US trade representative, Jamieson Greer, confirms that both countries maintain an institutional work path.
