México - No right to strike for Justice workers

The Mexican Supreme Court decided on May 12, 2016 that workers employed by the justice system, whether in administration, the court system, judge’s offices, police or military cannot form unions or engage in strikes. The case was brought by the State of Tlaxcala and the judges ruled that justice workers activities were covered by administrative constitutional and legal codes, not by labor laws. Nine justices voted for the decision, with one judge voting against arguing that those workers enjoyed labor rights.
