It is on this basis that OPSEU carries out its international solidarity work. Colombia is a country where trade unionists and human rights defenders are killed on a daily basis – just for performing what we would consider normal activities. OPSEU recently sent a delegation to Colombia to examine the situation and to provide support to those who are fighting for social justice in that country. While there we met with unions, indigenous groups, women’s groups, progressive Senators, human rights groups, and mothers whose innocent sons had been deliberately killed and dressed up as guerrillas by the army. OPSEU now stands by its decision to stop the Canada Colombia Free Trade Agreement – a position supported by the Canadian labour Congress and its affiliates as well as many other Canadian non-governmental organizations.Stop the Canada Colombia Free Trade Agreement Now.
