Mayday Colombia
Mayday Colombia
Colombia is the most dangerous country in the world to be a trade unionist. In the last 15 years over 3,000 people have been killed as a result of their involvement in trade union activity - more than in the rest of world combined.
Not only does this severely undermine democracy but it also means thousands of workers are forced to live in poverty. Colombia is one of the most unequal societies on earth with 3% of the population owning 70% of the land. War on Want believes that poverty will only be alleviated when trade unions are respected.
