Santiago. In the early morning of July 14^th, leaders of the Confederation of Bank Unions, CSTEBA- the only Chilean multi union organization of the financial sector- carried out a protest in front of Santander headquarters, in the heart of Santiago de Chile, to express solidarity with the workers dismissed from Santander Bank in Boston, USA.



Workers from the bank operating in Chile, unfolded cloth banners and distributed flyers with information denouncing that: “In just a year and a half since Santander bought USA Sovereign bank, 2700 positions have been cut. That is a 27% of the workforce! “Many workers have been reduced to part-time and as a consequence they have lost part of their income and benefits”.



CSTEBA, deeply compromised with these workers’s struggle and inspired by international solidarity, declared that “throughout the world, workers and their organisations are currently mobilising to defend employment and demand union freedom”
