I just received the following from Jairo Quiroz, press secretary of the Sintracarbon union at the Cerrejon mine and one of the union members who accompanied our November delegation:
On Monday, March 12, Sintracarbon's national executive board voted to adopt a commitment to the rights of the communities affected by Cerrejon as an official policy of our organization. They decided that on April 3 and 4, the entire executive board (48 people) would visit the communities and meet with community members in order to map out their strategies for the coming months. Sintracarbon will carry out workshops in the communities on various topics inculding Negotiation Techniques, Human Rights, Cultural Heritage Perservation, and others.
Cerrejon has invited community representatives to meet with the company in Santa Marta. The communities have asked Sintracarbon to accompany them at this meeting, and we will be there.
