 During the second day at the Expo Logistíca UNI-ITF continued to make their presence felt by attending the conferences and the Expo. The main point of interest in the conferences was DHL and its speaker, Mr. Daniel Quiroga who, after we invited the speaker to visit our stand, came to the UNI/ITF stand with a DHL worker who responsible for the company's stand at the expo.



In the exchange Daniel Quiroga said that he did not know what the term "union" would mean, and that he wasn't aware of the work the union organizations are developing in the subregion. But the really odd thing was that he knows the German "union" ver.di.
The day before, UNI-ITF asked the workers responsible for the DHL stand for the possibility of having an interview with Mr. Kurt Schosinsky, DHL Director Panama. The meeting never took place but the unions did get the visit described above.



We asked Mr. Daniel Quiroga to forward the request of UNI, ITF and its affiliates to meet with national and regional HR mangers in Central America to open a social dialogue; the same request that UNI - ITF made to DHL HR Manager Walter Scheuerle the same day Oct. 15 at the Posttower DHL in Bonn, Germany.
