Respect at DHL Colombia

Statement

051114_Respect DHL

The ETF team joined the international solidarity campaign demanding respect and freedom of association at DHL Colombia.

DHL union organiser, Jose Ignacio Garzon, was targeted by DHL Express in Bogota and relocated from his place of work, he was suspended and treated unfairly. Colombia is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a trade unionist. Against this backdrop ITF affiliate SNTT de Colombia (Sindicato National de Trabajadores de Rama y Servicios de la Industria del Transporte de Colombia) organises a day of action on 5 November, distributing leaflets in five cities across Colombia.

Please join the campaign and post your solidarity messages while using the hashtag #respetodhlcolombia and including @SNTTdeColombia in your post.
