Massachusetts Jobs With Justice is working to support trade unionists and human rights activists in
Colombia targeted by right wing paramilitary death squads. We have built a special relationship with the municipal workers union SINTRAOFAN in the hard hit
province of
Atioquia. One of its leaders, Hector Giraldo, has been working with JWJ, the Communication Workers, SEIU, and others in Massachusetts to build support in the U.S. and oppose the U.S. military's "Plan
Colombia". In collaboration with SINTRAOFAN, MassJwJ has also expanded its solidarity networks with other Colombian trade unionists and are reacting to the constant stream of death threats hurled at labor organizers by pressuring both US and Colombian officials to protect the rights of our sisters and brothers in
Colombia to organize.
