**Employees of the Federal Judiciary in Tijuana Return to Work Under Protest**
After a halt of over two months, more than 778 employees of the Federal Judiciary (PJF) in Tijuana resumed work this Monday. According to Daniel Sánchez Reyes, secretary of the 16th District Court, the decision to return was made through a worker vote, reflecting the collective need to address the backlog accumulated during the 60-day work stoppage.
Though back at their posts, the employees are continuing to protest, with working hours limited from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, and a commitment not to bring work home. “There was no pressure or threats to return. People are genuinely concerned about the backlog that’s developed,” Sánchez Reyes stated, emphasizing that support from the leadership has remained steadfast.
For this week, no legal deadlines will apply to ensure that all parties are aware the PJF is now operational. The conditions for ongoing protests are still under review, indicating that this may be an evolving situation in the coming weeks.

Economic experts warn that prolonged work stoppages could significantly impact judicial proceedings, affecting not only legal professionals but also the public waiting for the resolution of legal matters. The decision to return to work is being weighed against ongoing negotiations with government bodies to improve working conditions and address employee grievances.
