The strike began in late
August and continues due to
the intransigent stance of
oil palm operators and the
national government’s
failure to enforce the law |

By filling out the form below, you will
be sending the attached letter to
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos
and giving your support to the
International Campaign for Decent Work
in Oil Palm Plantations.
To the President of the Republic of Colombia
Dr.
Juan Manuel Santos
I am writing you to give my support to the strike
staged by oil palm workers in Puerto Wilches,
department of Santander, and to back the struggle of
the National Union of Agroindustry Workers
(SINTRAINAGRO) to eliminate Associated Work
Cooperatives, an outsourcing scheme that is
responsible for spreading job insecurity, poverty
and hunger in Colombia’s rural areas.
Moreover, I ask you to intervene immediately and
take action to support SINTRAINAGRO’s efforts to
secure a new collective bargaining agreement that
contemplates its just and legitimate demands.
Sincerely yours,
|
