Garbage pickup back and so are teachers in Oaxaca
An agreement reached Wednesday in Oaxaca got the garbage trucks moving again, but now the teachers are back on the march.
The state government negotiated an end to that conflict in time for another: a repeat protest by the CNTE teachers’ union.
When they arrived, they were met by a barricade police had already set up. After the teachers threw rocks and other objects — including a grenade, according to one report — police fired back with tear gas and the protesters withdrew.
They returned to their original plan and marched to the zócalo and proceeded to set up camp.
The teachers’ union continues to protest education reforms, particularly the process of evaluating teachers.
