Welcome to the dream factory.
At the moment, we are involved in a labour conflict with Nestlé.
After 82 days of strike, we managed to get them to sign a collective agreement
on the 28th of June, 2012.
But since then, we did not manage to get the management to implement this agreement totally.
This hunger strike is illimited . We will go to the last consequences
until the management becomes reasonable and accepts to negociate with Sinaltrainal.
for worker's rights to be implemented.
We are just demanding the respect of the collective agreement that was signed on June 28th, 2012.
We are not demanding anything else. Just that the rights that were defined in the agreement
are implemented and that the rights that beneficiate to the workers are recognised.

...that is why we are here, determined to continue our hunger strike.
So that this multinational company respects the workers.
And we will carry it out to the end.
We will see if this company decides to let the workers die from hunger
or to respect the collective agreement.
Sinaltrainal will continue to denounce publicly the policies of this company.
We are here in this struggle to denounce this,
to tell this company that it must respect the rights of the workers,
that it must respect the Colombian people
that they should stop importing milk and raw materials.
The finished product increases the deficit in agriculture,
the deficit in the Colombian economy.
We also demand to the company
that they respect and guarantee the security of the workers who are members of Sinatrainal
because we received many threats
during the whole time the company refused to negociate with us
...the problem of the workers and of the people.
Fur the implementation of the collective agreement!
Unity - Organisation - und Struggle!
We demand the respect of the collective agreement!
We demand - we demand- we demand!
We are going to win!
Why are we putting forward demands? - Because we produce!
We will no longer accept that they steal our ressources
and that they prevent the implementation of the collective agreement.
On the 5th of November 2013, four Nestlé workers started a hunger strike
to demand the implementation of the agreement with the swiss company.
After 24 hours, no negotiations had still taken place
The company affirms that they have implemented all the agreements
and complains against the actions taken by Sinaltrainal.
