PSI affiliate, the National Union of Health Workers of Guatemala (SNTSG), and the Frente Nacional de Lucha [SP](FNL), organised a rally on 28 August in Guatemala City.

All PSI affiliated unions in Guatemala participated in the rally that mobilised 25,000 people. They demanded a budget increase and the implementation of their collective agreement.
