Colombia: The fair victory of Sintravalores against "Pacto Colectivo" in Prosegur

The fair victories of SINTRAVALORES. The fine proves that PROSEGUR, in its role of employer, carries out illegal actions.

Recently, the Department of Inspection, Monitoring and Control of the Ministry of Labor in Colombia, has taken a momentous decision for Sintravalores industrial unionism. This union, in carrying out its objectives and ideals to protect the rights of men and women workers in the security sector, filed an administrative complaint against PROSEGUR, with head office in Spain, considering that it was illegally using "Pacto Colectivos" and benefit plans as a tool to attack the union and violate individual and collective freedom of association.

After many administrative procedures throughout the lawsuit, where it is important to highlight the abusive actions of the company who took advantage of administrative errors during the process, there was a favorable outcome for the union, with a fine against Prosegur of over 30 million pesos.

Besides the economic value, it is now politically clear that PROSEGUR in its role of employer, carries out illegal actions that must be attacked and condemned both by the supervisory bodies and by society, as these actions do not comply with the respect for constitutional rights and freedom.

SINTRAVALORES path of life is not easy, but with hard work and perseverance changes can be achieved for its members, which is reason enough to motivate organizing more workers. Therefore, all workers in the security sector are invited to approach, meet and join the union.
