The recovery of items pawned at the National Monte de Piedad will be postponed until September 2026. Due to the lack of agreements between the union and the administration, the branches will remain closed, although the institution guarantees the full protection of the items in security vaults.

Extension of work stoppage in strategic branches
The outlook for users of the National Monte de Piedad becomes complex after the confirmation that the cessation of activities will not have an immediate resolution. In various locations, particularly in León, Guanajuato, the placement of official notices on the facades of branches has made the operational paralysis official. Reports derived from graphic evidence on digital platforms indicate that the conflict escalated to a period of inactivity projected for at least six additional months.
This determination, linked to the decisions of the institution’s legal representative, establishes a waiting horizon that directly affects the flow of asset recovery for thousands of pledgers. The interruption of service implies that any attempt to remove jewelry or personal property will be disabled for most of the current year, placing the resumption of functions towards the end of the third quarter.
Security and protection of assets in custody
Given the uncertainty generated by the prolonged closure, the administration has issued guarantees on the integrity of the deposited assets. Garment security is the stated operational priority, ensuring that:
- The items remain under strict protection protocols.
- Storage is maintained exclusively in high-tech security vaults.
- The delivery of goods will be officially executed only when legal and physical operations are restored.
This protection scheme seeks to mitigate the concern of those affected, who, despite not having access to their belongings, have institutional support that their valuables are not at risk of loss or deterioration during the strike.
Stagnation in contract negotiations
The core of the problem lies in a labor dispute that has not managed to converge on sustainable points of agreement. According to communications issued on April 1, 2026, the institution maintains that its offers seek to balance the financial viability of the company with the demands of the workers. Among the proposals presented, the following stand out:
- Adjustments to the salary increase table corresponding to fiscal year 2025.
- Strategic plans to guarantee the operational survival of the pawn shop.
- Resolution mechanisms for disputes regarding the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
For its part, the institutional position emphasizes that the accusations of contractual violations have not been formally accredited before the competent authorities. While the legal process continues in the corresponding instances, administrative paralysis remains the main obstacle to customer service, leaving users in a mandatory waiting phase until a consensus is formalized between the parties in conflict.
