IMSS union dissent gains support from other labor groups

IMSS union dissent gains support from other labor groups

Dissent within the National Union of IMSS Workers has grown into a wider movement.

It has received support from unions at Pemex, the ISSSTE and the Mexico City Metro, as well as other labor groups.

IMSS is Mexico’s social security institute, which serves people affiliated with the system.

Zoé Robledo has led the institute since he was appointed in May 2019.

The unrest has prompted questions about whether political groups want him replaced, but no evidence identifying anyone behind the movement is given.

The institute is already under pressure from a growing number of people it serves, so disruption could affect its operations.

The next steps in the dispute are not specified.
