| Summary: |
The right of union association, ever since the onset of a working class in the world and in Colombia, has had many difficulties concerning its validity and exercise. Its practice has become, in Colombian social and work context, as a risk: as an activity that fosters insecurity, persecution and stigmatization of workers who mobilize collectively for their social, economic and cultural rights, violated or unknown. Unionized workers are sometimes physically mistreated and their possibilities to pursue protests are being curtailed. Such situation worsens in a period marked by the rise and consolidation of the neoliberal model, whereby outsourcing, precariousness and relaxation of laws characterize labor relations. This scenario is aggravated in some sectors of production for reasons of different origins and Colombian floriculture is an example of this reality. The research problem in this paper relies on the following question: What conditions limit the exercise of the right of union association in Colombia, and in particular, in the floricultural sector of the Sabana of Bogotá? The findings allow us to apply a concrete statement: Colombian workers and their union organizations have an indisputable challenge in the coming years which is the achievement of a public policy that guarantees the right of union association by branches of production and that contributes to their strengthening as subjects of rights. |
