Prof. AVIVA CHOMSKY
"The Labor Struggles in Colombia"

Six power plants in the United States along with others in eastern Canada import Colombian coal to fuel their operations. Colombian miners unions face not only the challenge of organizing workers for better pay and working conditions, but must struggle with others to defend basic human rights. Labor historian Prof. Avi Chomsky of Salem State College, who recently translated a book on Colombian unions, will address neoliberalism, multinational corporations, the mining and energy sectors in the Colombian economy, and working-class internationalism.
