The conflict arose from alleged non-compliant working conditions and benefits.

Héctor Ruiz Mejía (Jocotepec).- The teaching staff of the Center for Technological Studies in Continental Waters (CETAC 01), in Jocotepec, is on technical strike (not a classic strike, but working with modified conditions like shorter hours by mutual agreement) over a labor dispute.
The dispute began on May 12 and, as of May 23, despite attempts at dialogue, there is still no resolution.
After a series of accusations of labor inconsistencies by the educational personnel of CETAC 01, with the support of the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE), Section 16, they are requesting an immediate resolution to the alleged infractions.
They are demanding a solution to problems including salary, overtime, seniority incentives and retirement bonuses, as well as immediate compensation to managers unpaid for eight months.
On Facebook, the user Eriika Naye posted that her husband “has not received his salary as a manager since last August, a little more than eight months». and the family is struggling.
In addition to the salary demands, the teachers and administrative personnel are also demanding a solution to the admission process for qualified personnel, and filling positions vacant due to retirement and death.
The disagreement between the teaching staff and the academic institution began a little more than five months after Norma Angelica Huerta García was sworn in as the new director of the campus. She was not available to issue a statement on the matter, except to assure that «they are working on the dialogues to find a solution».
