National transport workers in Mexico are expressing their outrage over the violence and disruptions caused by drug cartel blockades led by El Mencho's associates. The Mexican Alliance of Transport Organizations (AMOTAC) has threatened to initiate a strike if their demands for improved security are not met, citing reports of at least six drivers killed and approximately 200 vehicles set on fire during these incidents. This situation highlights the ongoing security crisis impacting transport and logistics in the region.

Although AMOTAC has taken a strong stance, the leadership of the National Transport Association (ANTAC) has clarified that they do not currently see a strike as appropriate. This divergence in opinions reflects the complex dynamics within the transport industry, as some stakeholders are more cautious about escalating actions that could further destabilize operations within an already beleaguered sector. The threat of a strike underscores the urgent need for solutions to improve safety for drivers and workers.

As the transportation industry grapples with these challenges, another pressing issue looms over the upcoming electoral reform that may impact around 13,000 employees of the National Electoral Institute (INE). President Sheinbaum has detailed upcoming changes that could lead to significant job losses, exacerbating the sense of unease and instability in both the electoral and transport sectors. The interrelation of these events reflects broader concerns about governance, public safety, and economic stability in Mexico, necessitating immediate attention from policymakers to address these intertwined crises.
