 "We have asked the company to commit itself to generate decent jobs, decent infrastructure and comply with workers fundamental rights" said Hugo Muñoz Pérez, President of the union at Prosegur Chile Ltd. The union is pushing to raise working conditions and standards in the company.



In Chile, many workers in the private security industry don’t have access to water and sanitary facilities on their job site. Women are denied equal access to jobs in which firearms are used as is the case of cash in transit companies.

In response to these and other serious situations that Prosegur workers have reported in Chile and other Latin American countries and Europe, where the company has operations, UNI global union is insisting on the need to establish a dialogue at world level about the problems in the workplace and to sign a Global Agreement with UNI to provide workers with decent working conditions everywhere.



The union at Prosegur Ltda Chile expressed its support for a Global Agreement. "We are willing to join UNI in the endeavor to gain respect for workers and we will strive every day to ensure their right to organize and collective bargaining" said Hugo Muñoz Pérez.
