As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, a potential storm is brewing in Mexico. Thousands of teachers, who are also expected to play a crucial role in hosting the tournament, are threatening to stage protests over the government's latest salary proposal. The proposal, which has been met with widespread criticism from educators, aims to address the long-standing issues of low wages and poor working conditions in Mexico's public education sector. With the World Cup set to bring a massive influx of tourists and international attention to the country, the teachers' union is warning that any failure to meet their demands could lead to widespread disruptions and protests during the tournament.
