The Colombian government increased the repression against the sugar cane workers' strike this week, arresting workers and supporters and continuing the violence that has left over 100 workers injured.

A new document released today by USLEAP shows that the Colombian government's "fight against impunity" lacks honesty, clarity, and a commitment to victims' rights.

In a significant victory for maquila workers, workers won a collective bargaining agreement on August 12 at a large textile manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic owned by Hanesbrands, Inc.

USLEAP released a full report on its conclusions from a fact-finding mission to Guatemala in July. The report details the status of worker rights under the new government of Alvaro Colom.
