Witness For Peace Colombia Delegation Report Back

expired
In November, shortly after the U.S. ratified the bitterly resisted free trade agreement, a Witness for Peace delegation to Colombia met with workers and union activists from the automotive, sugar, and port sectors there, among others, as well as with students, human rights groups,  and indigenous community representatives.  The delegates also heard from the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center’s representative in Colombia and from RECALCA, the Colombian network against free trade.

The delegates from Portland will report on what they saw and heard in Colombia, and specifically on how the everyday workplace reality stacks up against the pledges made in the “Labor Action Plan” that provided political cover for passage of the trade agreement.
