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,
