UNISON's joint delegation with German sister union, ver.di, to Colombia made a five day visit to Bogota and Cali earlier this month. http://www.unison.org.uk/international/pages_view.asp?did=11628


The delegation met with a large number of public service trade unions as well as lawyers, human rights defenders, the families of victims and representatives of indigenous groups and other social movements.

Next week small delegation of Colombian workers struggling for recognition by service company Sodexho will be making a solidarity visit to UNISON and other UK trade unions.
