Retired workers from Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) blocked access to the distribution plant of the state-owned company in Playas de Rosarito for the second consecutive day, as a protest against the lack of medicines and deficiencies in their medical services.
Rafael Rentería, a retired Pemex worker, said that this strike is to demand comprehensive medical services that they have earned after completing their years working for this company.
“We are adults, most of us have chronic degenerative diseases and at any time we can have an emergency and we do not have any service. The only thing is general medical care to give us prescriptions, but they do not have all the medicines either, out of five they give you one if you are doing well,” he said.
