Sheinbaum Announces 10% Pay Increase for Teachers as Unions March in Mexico City
- President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a 10% pay increase for Mexican teachers on May 15, 2025, during Teachers' Day celebrations in Mexico City.
- Sheinbaum planned this raise after years of union demands and negotiations that failed to resolve pension and budget concerns.
- The increase includes a 9% retroactive boost from January 1 and an additional 1% starting September 1, with contracts adding one week of vacation.
- The total pay increase amounts to 36 billion pesos, equivalent to over $1.8 billion USD, but union representatives have called for higher raises and improved retirement conditions, stating, "We have no option but to strike."
- This wage adjustment maintains previous patterns but leaves unresolved pension and rural education demands, potentially fueling ongoing protests in Mexico City.
