Last December Daniela Candia, journalist for Channel 9 and trade unionist of the SPP (Union of Journalists of Paraguay ) was fired clearly because of her union activities.



Daniela Candia and her colleagues from Canal 9 were demanding payment of the overtime and asked for their seniority to be maintained after the change of Management in Canal 9 TV/ Canal 5.



As the negotiations with the Management were unsuccessful the trade union delegation attended a tripartite meeting with the Ministry of Justice and Labour to try to start a dialogue. A few days later, Daniela Candia was fired.



After 2 months of negotiations and thanks to national and international solidarity actions, the SPP and the Management of Canal 9 agreed on the reinstatement of Daniela Candia.
