At these points, It was highlighted that it has always been sought through dialogue to find solutions to the labor conflict that exists in the Ministry of Labor.but according to the unions they have found the response to be the opening of few spaces and without frank, sincere and respectful dialogue, which has prevented them from finding solutions.
Adds the statement made at the ILO by the Strike Committee, that to date, neither the Minister of Labor, Gloría Inés Ramírez, nor the offices of her vice ministers, Edwin Palma and Iván Daniel Jaramillo, have shown interest in address or seek solutions to the differences that currently have the portfolio on permanent strike, adding that instead “The only thing that has been left in mind is the lack of guarantees for the exercise of the right to strike and with it the violation of the rights to freedom of association and union.”
To date, there is no known statement or response from Minister Rámirez.
