Colombia's sugar cane cutters: still fighting for their rights

A delegation from UNISON’s Northern region is currently visiting Colombia. This is the first of a series of reports sent into UNISONActive by the delegation: Colombia has one of the most challenging political climates in the world. The extreme implementation of neoliberal policies has seen the erosion of core workers’ rights, and the marginalisation of communities. In this context the struggle of the Corteros (sugar cane cutters) is significant.
