Havana Hosts Latin American Trade Union Seminar

Havana, Nov 27 (acn) Almost 100 trade union leaders of Latin America 
are participating in the Continental Seminar on Political Updating for 
Trade Union Action against Neoliberalism that opened on Monday in the 
Cuban capital.

The event is taking place under the auspices of the World Trade Union 
Federation and it began with the discussion of the theme 'Benefits of 
the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA) in front of the Free 
Trade Area of the Americas and other treaties promoted by the United 
States.'

Other topics on the agenda include the international trade union 
movement and its development as well as the workers' need to create a 
common front in defense of their interests.

Delegates will also analyze the impact of neoliberal globalization 
around the world and particularly in Latin America, and they will learn 
about the norms and procedures of the International Labor Organization.

Participants at the seminar, which will run until December 9, will also 
discuss topics such as political systems, employment and unemployment, 
and Europe-Latin America relations.

The program of the event includes a visit to the Havana-based Latin 
American School of Medicine and meetings with workers and trade union 
leaders on the island.
