Panama, Feb 12 (Prensa Latina) Panama's largest union, CNUSI National Confederation of Independent Trade Unions, which includes construction, public workers, teachers and public health unions, called for a national march on Wednesday.
At its national trade union leaders' meeting Monday, CNUSI called for the march to demand better salaries, and to protest the high cost of living, the mines and hydroelectric plants affecting the ecosystem and the indigenous and farm communities.
The leaders denounced the total disdain of the Panamanian government for union liberties, entrepreneurs' lack of knowledge of health regulations for labor, lack of labor security and repudiated hired assassins and the "yellow trade union movement."
In the last hours, information was received of threats to selectively kill leaders of the National Construction Union, and particularly its organizer Saul Mendez.
