UNION STUDY: COLOMBIA MOST DANGEROUS NATION
Colombia was the most dangerous nation for union members again last year,
with 201 killings or disappearances reported, or 90 percent of the
worldwide total, according to an annual survey released today in Brussels.
The total in Colombia, plagued by drug traffickers and a guerrilla war, was
more than 30 percent higher than the 153 reported in 2000, the
International Confederation of Free Trade Unions said. That pushed the
global figure up to 223, 14 more than in 2000.
