SUPPORTING PERUVIAN TRADE UNIONIST
If the company you worked for let workers toil for 12-14 hours a day in miserable conditions, wouldn’t you speak out about it? For Fidel Polo Sanchez, a local union leader at Agricola Viru, one of Peru’s largest agricultural export plantations, that’s exactly what he did. Now, Agricola Viru is trying to stop Polo and his co-workers from spreading the truth about their company and the agro-export sector, and on July 12th, they notified Polo that he would be fired for “defamation.”
