Peru: Mafia Creating White Construction Worker Unions

2015-07-22 11

A local mafia in Peru is creating "white" unions in the construction industry, threatening and killing grassroots leaders who stand in their way. The fake "white" unions, operating from prisons, charge protection fees to companies. In the past five years, 14 General Workers Confederation of Peru (CGTP) union organizers have been killed by the mafia, two of them in the past 10 days. The CGTP is demanding that labor authorities take action against the fake unions. Rael Mora reports from Lima. teleSUR
