Only 10% of delivery workers access complete social security

A massive exclusion leaves the vast majority of delivery workers without vital protection, official figures reveal.

A Transformation Opportunity for the Heroes of the Digital Economy

Dear community of dreamers and fighters, we have news that drives us to act stronger than ever! The newly revealed data show us a reality: only one in ten delivery workers and drivers registered with the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) have been able to access comprehensive social security coverage. This is not a barrier, it is our call to unite and shine even brighter. Each number represents a life, a family, a dream, and together we can turn it into a monumental success story.

Imagine a world where your daily effort, every kilometer traveled and every delivery completed, is backed by complete protection. Unfortunately, an exclusion policy associated with the application of the new law has prevented the majority of our incredible digital platform workers from reaching the required minimum monthly salary. But you know what? Obstacles exist to be overcome. This is our chance to raise our voices, to demand inclusion and to demonstrate that every effort deserves to be rewarded with dignity and rights.

The Numbers That Move Us to Action

The results of the pilot test implemented by the IMSS are clear: of a universe of more than 980 thousand people who should benefit from this transformative reform, only 113 thousand have met the requirements to join and enjoy the five insurance policies. Yes, although all were registered with basic coverage for occupational risks, the majority are still excluded from fundamental rights. This is not the end of the road; It is the starting point for a revolution of consciousness and change. Your work has immense value and deserves all protection!

As Sergio Guerrero, general secretary of the National Union of Workers by Application, said, these exclusionary criteria go against the initial spirit of the reform, which seeks to include more platform workers in labor rights. Friends, this is not just a statistic; It is an invitation to empower ourselves. Let’s learn from this, demand adjustments and turn this challenge into the spark that ignites a wave of progress and justice. You are the protagonist of this story, and together we can make inclusion the norm, not the exception.

Let’s celebrate every small step, because every progress counts. Take advantage of this energy to inform yourself, join communities that fight for your rights and share your experience. Your voice is powerful and can inspire thousands. The future of the gig economy is in our hands, and with optimism and determination, we will transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Keep rolling, keep dreaming and keep demanding what you deserve!

It’s time to shine! Share this message of hope and struggle on your social networks so that more people know the reality and join the transformation. Together, we are unstoppable.

Profeco warns about fraud in offers for the 2026 World Cup

The agency detected fake sites with unrealistic prices for tickets and tourist packages.

The Federal Consumer Prosecutor’s Office (Profeco) warned about misleading promotions related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In a statement, it noted that offers with very low prices for tickets, exclusive experiences, tourist packages and accommodation are circulating on social networks. These come from accounts without verifiable means of contact or clear change or cancellation policies.

Protection measures

Profeco explained that it has identified sites that appear to be trustworthy, but do not comply with electronic commerce requirements to guarantee secure transactions. Therefore, it recommended purchasing products and services only from official or authorized suppliers, and avoiding secondary markets.

In addition, the agency constantly monitors digital platforms and responds to complaints to punish those who spread misleading advertising. It urged consumers to report any suspicious practices, which allows unsubstantiated ads to be modified or removed. Citizen collaboration is key to protecting their rights in large-scale events such as the World Cup.

CIEP: 2026 World Cup mobility should not be isolated

The CIEP warns that mobility projects for the 2026 World Cup must be integrated into a strategic mass transportation plan.

Investment in public transport: beyond the World Cup

The Center for Economic and Budgetary Research (CIEP) presented the study “Mobility at the subnational level: Investment in public transportation within the framework of the 2026 World Cup.” Its conclusion is clear: mobility projects for the 2026 World Cup should not be isolated events. They must be part of a strategic plan that contemplates the construction of more mass transportation lines and connectivity between the host cities.

The CIEP emphasizes that investment in public transport must guarantee the right to mobility beyond the World Cup celebration. The benefits cannot be limited to visitors. They have to be the beginning of a more modern, efficient and inclusive transportation system for the entire population.

The study also diagnoses the current state of public transportation in Mexico. The urban development model is dispersed and is disconnected from territorial planning policies. As a result, the existing service is old, lacks adequate maintenance, and insecurity within units and stations reduces user confidence.

Headquarters cities and use of transportation

In 2026, the World Cup will be held in three cities: Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. In these cities, different mobility projects have been implemented to facilitate the movement of visitors. But the CIEP insists: these works must be the foundation of a long-term public transportation system.

The key fact: in the country’s main metropolitan areas, 40% of the population uses public transportation to go to work. In Mexico City, the figure rises to 49.2%; in Guadalajara, 38.6%; and in Monterrey, 33.4%. Not counting travel on foot or by bicycle, public transportation is the most used motorized means in Mexico.

Michoacán obtains Geographical Indication for its avocado

Recognition that benefits 48 thousand producers and opens new international markets.

The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) granted the declaration of Geographical Indication (GI) to the avocado produced in the Michoacan strip. Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla described the event as a step that strengthens consumer confidence and competition in the market.

A quality seal for avocado

In a press conference with the federal Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, the state president explained that this designation recognizes the work of 48 thousand producers, 94 packing plants and an agribusiness that generates more than 150 thousand direct and indirect jobs. The GI allows the Michoacan product to be differentiated in national and international markets.

Ebrard confirmed that, on instructions from President Claudia Sheinbaum, projects are being developed to enhance the growth of Michoacán. He assured that support for the state and the productive sector will continue.

The general director of IMPI, Vidal Llerenas Morales, highlighted the joint effort of the state government and producers to obtain this certification, which adds value to avocado abroad.

The Secretary of Economic Development of Michoacán, Claudio Méndez, also participated in the event; and the presidents of APEAM, Raúl Martínez Pulido; from UDECAM, Miguel Melgoza Radillo; and of the Board of Directors of Avocado Producers and Packers A.C., Rafael Paz Vega.
