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.
