Secretary of Labor calls
for conciliation
The president of the Union of Workers of Unilever Caribe (SITRAUC),
Wilson Montero, told Sirel that the union has
received a summons from the Secretary of Labor to attend a
conciliation meeting with the transnational corporation, to
be held tomorrow, Tuesday 22, at 10 a.m. local hour.
SITRAUC’s
Governing Committee decided to postpone the new picketing
demonstration that was programmed for today in front of
Unilever’s
administrative facilities. If no agreement is reached
tomorrow, the picketing will be held on Wednesday the 23rd.
“The workers’ morale remains high and they are prepared to
do whatever’s necessary to obtain the reinstatement of our
four fellow workers who were fired without any real grounds.
The fired workers themselves are actively participating in
all the measures and actions carried out by SITRAUC,
defending their right to have a thorough and union-monitored
investigation of the incidents that they have been
implicitly charged with,” Montero informed.
