Lima. After seven years of a long judicial fight, the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru has ordered through Labour Annulment N⁰ 4939-2009, dated October 11^th 2010, the nullity of the dismissal of the ex General Secretary of the Unified Union of Electricity Workers and Related Activities from Lima and Callao, SUTREL, Luis Martín del Río Reátegui, ordered by the company Luz del Sur S.A.A. on September 2^nd, 2003.



This unappealable ruling was possible due to the unbreakable will in the struggle to defend the interests of the workers employed by Electricity Companies derived from Electrolima S.A., to which various union organisations joined in solidarity as well as Peruvian civil society, together with the international Labour Movement, which caused the Supreme Court of the Republic to accept the grounds of unjustified dismissal presented by colleague Luis Del Río, ordering his immediate reinstatement in his job, and in the ordinary duties he had carried out in the Company Luz del Sur. S.A.A.



UNI americas celebrates the judicial success of its affiliate SUTREL, and the whole Peruvian labour movement, which is added to the achievements of Telecom workers in that country taken place some time ago.
