Attacks against trade unionists in Honduras spark international concerns http://www.radiomundoreal.fm/More-Violence?lang=es

The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), an organization representing 176 million workers in 155 countries and territories, issued a press release on Tuesday expressing concern over the persistent violence in Honduras.

“Unfortunately Honduras is submerged in a very concerning spiral of violence, that is why why the international trade union movement is following closely the human rights violations there.

Being a trade union in Honduras and a member of the Front of Resistance today is very risky. In the recent weeks several trade union and grassroots leaders have received death threats and attacks”, reads the ITUC press release.
