AUDIO-Impunity Continues Anti-unionist practices by Chiquita Brands in Guatemala http://www.radiomundoreal.fm/Impunity-Continues?lang=es

It seems time does not pass in some Central American countries: US fruit companies operating in Guatemala, for instance, are carrying out their business with the same impunity they had in the 20th Century, and continue disregarding the labour laws in force.

This is what six Guatemalan unions denounced. The unions are made up by workers of Cobigua company, subsidiary of multinational company Chiquita Brands, the name adopted by notorious United Fruit Company.The workers accuse the company of “serious and permanent” labour rights violations, and death threats against union leaders and peasants.
