Goodyear San Luis Potosí Strike Ends with 5.8% Salary Increase
This article by Arturo Rivero originally appeared at Lafuentelaboral on March 23, 2026 edition.
The Independent Union of Workers of Goodyear Mexico (SITGM) reported that the labor base approved a 5.8% increase directly to the tab with 420 votes in favor, 315 against and 17 nulls, as a result of the consultation conducted on March 20 and 21, 2026, with which the planned strike outbreak within the salary review process at the San Luis Potosí plant has no effect.
The voting was conducted by personal, free, direct and secret voting, according to the mechanisms established in the current labour legislation, which allowed the union majority to opt for acceptance of the economic proposal submitted by the company.
The union specified that, despite the signing of the wage agreement, the legal procedure before the Federal Labour Court for Collective Affairs remains in force, because the original petition file includes indications of alleged violations of the Contract Law and individual rights of workers.
Regarding the application of the increase, it was noted that the retroactive payment for the period from February 12 to date will be covered in the upcoming dates, while the update of the pay tab will be reflected in the payroll of weeks 13 or 14 of this year.
