Public Services International The global union federation of workers in public services

The Global Union Federations (GUFs) group - of which Public Services International (PSI) is a part - and the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas (TUCA) have all expressed alarm at the brutal repression unleashed by the military and police forces in Colombia. The violent response to the protests that have been organized by the National Strike Committee since April 28 have already caused dozens of deaths, injuries and hundreds of people have been arrested and even disappeared. PSI, the GUFs and TUCA are jointly requesting the immediate and urgent intervention of the United Nations (UN) and the Organization of American States (OAS).
