Mexico City. Mexico’s Cineteca Collective and Workers have called for a work stoppage and a public demonstration tomorrow, Friday, at the headquarters located at México Coyoacán 389, Colonia Xoco, after their request for hiring has not been resolved.
In the document shared by the collective, they ask for the support of the public to join and bring their banners; it was also reported that members of the Collective will share their experiences and dialogues will be held with specialists in labour law.
The meeting is at 11:00 this Friday so that the work stoppage can begin at 11:30 at all Cineteca locations.
Afterwards, a press conference will follow where the workers will explain their working conditions, and the manifesto and the list of demands of the collective will also be read.
Talks will also be held from 1 p.m. onwards, addressing topics such as the importance of rights and labor malfeasance. The protest is planned to end at 6 p.m.
The demonstration can also be followed live through the Instagram account @colectivacinetecanacional.
