The agreement included that cleaning tasks and academic activities will be fully regularized starting next Monday, November 24.

Another of the central points of the agreement establishes the immediate payment of the first fortnight of November to the affected employees, thereby keeping the workers’ payroll up to date and fulfilling the main demand that motivated the protests.
The demonstrations
Hundreds of cleaning workers who provide their services at different campuses of the National Polytechnic Institute closed traffic on key roads in the capital, including the Interior Circuit.
Among their demands was the direct intervention of the IPN to resolve the non-compliance of the private company under which they are contracted, so, under pressure and a negotiation and agreement, the protesters lifted the blockades.
