Fraternal Greetings,

The National Executive of the Postal Workers Union of Colombia "STPC" and the members of our organization express our support and solidarity for the members of “UPCE”, who are currently on strike in defense of their just labour rights.

Our union, "STPC" encourages you to remain strong and united in your struggle in order to strengthen the fundamental rights of workers, currently under attack by neoliberal policies that favour contracting out, and privatizing public services into the hands of a ruthless economic system.

Our hearts go out to you. We remain watchful during these moments of so much anticipation. However, we are hopeful that you will be successful in obtaining your just demands, demands that we share across the distances.

Sincerely,

DORA LILIA GOMEZ MENDEZ
General Secretary
