Mexican
(SNTE) Section 22's latest demand statement (Spanish Version) The document
will hopefully be translated into English soon, but has been summarized as
follows:...the document states many of the concrete injustices coming from the corrupt, official SNTE--Elba Esther Gordillo empire and restates the position of Oaxaca's Seccion 22. On February 9 a Statewide demonstration occured and on February 29th it will be taken to Mexico City for a massive demonstration.... The demands in the document are those that have not yet been met since 2006 - removal of Governor Ruiz, recognition & respect for Seccion 22 (and for APPO), restoration of placement in jobs, and meeting of the original demands - increase in salaries, support for students, etc.
