 Bogota. On October 27th, 2010, after overcoming multiple social, political and legal problems existing in Colombia to exercise the right to free association, an important number of workers of the National Federation of Commerce Workers from the Bogota Section – FENALCO, achieved the creation of their union organisation.



The affiliation to the Unitary Central of Workers (CUT) at the National level, and to UNI at the international level, was approved unanimously. The Management Committee is integrated by 10 workers, 7 of which are women.



FENALCO is a union organisation which joins private commerce workers carrying out mercantile activities. It is a non-profit, permanent institution in charge of promoting the development of private commerce of goods and services and dedicated to provide orientation, representation and protection of their members’ interests.
