Salary agreement at Audi Puebla

Audi México and the Independent Union of Audi México Workers (SITAUDI) closed the salary and benefits review for 2026. The pact was approved by the majority of workers by vote.

The agreement includes a global increase of 19.5% between salary and benefits. It is the result of negotiation between the company and the union representation. Both parties indicated that the process seeks to maintain labor stability and operational continuity at the plant located in Puebla.

Audi México thanked the staff for their participation in the consultation and highlighted the joint work with the union. He stressed that the agreement provides certainty to working conditions.

For its part, the Secretariat of Economic Development and Labor of Puebla indicated that the agreement strengthens stability in one of the main automotive hubs in the country. The automotive industry represents a strategic sector for employment and investment in the region.

President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed the solidarity of the Government of Mexico with Venezuela after the earthquakes registered this Wednesday, which left dozens of people dead and injured.

During his conference, Sheinbaum reported that this same day a team from the Secretariat of National Defense (Defense), composed of rescuers and health personnel, will leave to collaborate in the emergency.

“Before continuing, our solidarity with the people of Venezuela. Today a team from the Secretariat of National Defense of rescuers and health personnel leaves to reach Venezuela,” he said.

Coordination with Venezuelan authorities

Sheinbaum explained that, once installed in the affected area and after coordinating with local authorities, the need for more support will be evaluated.

“And once we are installed there and having spoken with the authorities, tomorrow we will determine additional personnel that are required to always be able to help the towns that need it,” he added.

The president reiterated Mexico’s commitment to providing humanitarian aid in the face of natural disasters.

No Mexicans affected

Sheinbaum reported that, so far, the Mexican Embassy in Venezuela does not report injured or deceased compatriots.

“At the moment we do not have any communication from the Mexican Embassy in Venezuela, no injured Mexican has been reported, unfortunately deceased, but we are under permanent review,” he indicated.

He explained that the sending of aid was decided after contact between Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco and Venezuelan authorities, who requested trained personnel, not food or supplies.

The federal government will send 250 soldiers, five dogs, four aircraft, a drone, search and rescue tools, as well as equipment and healing materials.

The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (CRT) extended the deadline for prepaid cell phone users to link their line to the CURP. The new deadline is December 31 of this year, but not everyone has the same time: the calendar depends on the last digit of the phone number.

Calendar by digit

According to an official statement, the CRT assigned a specific period between August and December for each line. The objective is to organize the registration and improve the low participation registered until now. The telephone company will be in charge of making the connection once the user presents their documentation.

The process seeks to ensure that all prepaid lines are associated with the name and CURP of the owner. This, according to the CRT, will facilitate the identification of users and strengthen security in the use of telecommunications services. So far, the response has been insufficient, which led to the extension of the deadline.

Users should consult their telephone number to know the exact date on which they must complete the procedure. The CRT recommends not waiting until the last few days and going to your operator in advance.
