**Bureaucrats Consider Strike Over Proposed Issstecali Law Reforms**
The Baja California Bureaucrats Union is expressing potential plans to strike in response to proposed reforms to the Issstecali retirement law. Guillermo Aldrete Casarín, the union’s secretary-general, voiced concerns over changes that could delay retirement, potentially pushing the qualifying age beyond the current 65 years.
Aldrete Casarín emphasized the union’s resolve to oppose the reforms, hinting that modifications to extend work life are seen as harsh and unwelcome. The union has already submitted a formal opposition to the local Congress and requested an audit of Issstecali’s operations to unearth any financial discrepancies that might justify the reforms.
Moreover, Tecate and Ensenada municipalities currently owe almost 2 billion pesos to the institute. The union believes that settling these debts could address the current financial deficit without the need for legislative changes.
