Health personnel in Oaxaca set up six blockades at various points in the state, preventing traffic on the Pan-American and Trans-Isthmus federal highways that lead to Veracruz and Chiapas.
The protest is by personnel from subsection 02 of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, affiliated with Section 35 of the Union of Workers of the Ministry of Health (SNTSA).
The blockade of these six points is because they are seeking payment of a bonus that they have requested in cash.
