Bogota. The image illustrates the meeting carried out on July 7^th in front of the Ministry of Social Protection in Bogota by 300 workers to publicly disclose the problems the labour movement is facing in Colombia before an ILO Commission present in that city this week. Workers from the health sector, communications, transport, universities, bank employees, attended the meeting, among others. Some of their slogans dealt with anti-union violence and the government’s labour persecution, the attitude of the companies in trying to eliminate unions and prevent Colombian workers from exercising their right to freedom of association.



As it is known, during the past ILO Conference, Colombia was instructed to accept the presence of a high level mission of this international body in the country. The mission, presently in Bogota, has joined this demonstration in its preliminary stage.
