Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The municipal employees' union launched a protest early this morning, claiming that 94 of its members were unjustly fired. The demonstration quickly escalated as the union blocked several key streets in the city center, using Public Cleaning and Public Works vehicles to create a work stoppage, which the municipal authority has deemed illegal. The blockade, centered around the Municipal Presidency, has caused significant disruption in the area, further complicating the ongoing dispute.
