37^th Meeting of the IUF's Latin American Executive Committee

On the opening day of the 37^th Meeting of the IUF's Latin American Executive Committee in Bogotá, the president of Colombia's United Workers' Federation (CUT), Tarsicio Mora Godoy, presented IUF regional secretary Gerardo Iglesias with a diploma in recognition of the organization's work in support of the struggles of Colombia's workers.
 

Participants at the first session of the Latin American Executive Committee (CEL) Meeting had a very moving moment when a United Workers' Federation (CUT) delegation departed unexpectedly from the meeting's agenda to present IUF Regional Secretary Gerardo Iglesias with a diploma in recognition for his commitment to Colombia's working class.

Iglesias thanked the CUT delegation for this honor and declared that he was accepting it on behalf of the entire team of the Latin American Executive Committee, as nothing would have been possible without their constant dedication and backing.

The diploma reads: “In recognition to our fellow trade unionist, Gerardo Iglesias Aguirre, who in his capacity as IUF Latin American Regional Secretary has guided with true working class spirit the struggle of the workers of Latin America, in their ongoing battle to achieve social redemption and pave democratic roads to regional integration.”

The diploma is signed by Tarsicio Mora Godoy, CUT president, Domingo Tovar Arrieta, CUT general secretary, and Raúl Arroyave Arango, CUT international relations director.
