Correa for May Day March
Ecuadorian President
Rafael Correa has
proposed celebrating May
Day in peace and joy, in
comparison to opposition
demonstrations announced
by some trade unions.
In front of the marches
convened for May Day by
some trade union sectors
to protest an announced
cut of benefits from
collective contracts in
the public sector,
Correa called for the
Ecuadorian people to
hold a march in support
of the government.
The president accused
what he called "certain
union and bureaucratic
elites" of taking
advantage of collective
contracts, and
reiterated they will be
revised to avoid
excessive benefits.
Correa pointed out the
revision aims to
guarantee the legitimate
rights of unionized
workers, and will secure
stability. |
