IN JULY, as a Unison member, I took part in a trade union delegation to Colombia organised by the campaign organisation, Justice for Colombia (JFC). The aim was to develop understanding and campaigning on issues around peace, trade union rights, human rights, and social justice in Colombia.
The delegation of seven trade unionists continued longstanding work undertaken in the north-west England region, where JFC North West hosts regular events in solidarity with Colombia.
