#### PJF Workers Block Roads for the Third Time This Week

For the third time this week, workers from the Federal Judicial Power (PJF) in Tijuana have taken to the streets, blocking both directions of Cuauhtémoc Sur Boulevard. The demonstration, which lasted for nearly two hours, began around noon and concluded shortly before 2 PM. The workers are protesting against recent reforms published in the Federal Official Gazette (DOF).

“We are against the reform, and we are fighting for our rights, our guarantees, and our working conditions, including our payments,” stated Jesús Daniel Meza, the delegate of the PJF’s Renovation Union. He highlighted that approximately 788 PJF workers in Tijuana could face layoffs once the reforms—which include the popular election of judges and magistrates—are implemented.

Meza emphasized the workers’ determination to continue their protests until the federal government ensures their labor rights are respected. “We want to reach a dialogue, an agreement that they will not interfere with our labor rights,” he said.

This is the third roadblock this week, causing municipal police in Tijuana to close roads and redirect traffic to alternate routes. PJF workers have announced plans for another protest next Tuesday, October 1, coinciding with the federal government transition.

#### Nationwide Protests by Judicial Workers Sparked by Reforms

In a show of solidarity, judicial workers across multiple cities in Mexico have joined the protests against the recent judicial reforms. The reforms, which have been a point of contention, propose significant changes, such as the popular election of judges and magistrates, which workers argue could lead to mass layoffs and undermine judicial independence.

In Mexico City, judicial workers staged sit-ins outside key government buildings, while in Guadalajara, protests resulted in temporary closures of major thoroughfares. The National Union of Workers of the Judiciary (SNTPJ) has called for a nationwide strike if their demands are not met.

In addition to job security, the protesting workers are concerned about the potential politicization of the judiciary, fearing that elected judges might be more susceptible to political influence. This nationwide unrest underscores the tension between the judiciary’s desire for autonomy and the government’s reform agenda.
