VOICED : Colombia: Sindicatos paran y acusan incumplimientos del gobierno

On Tuesday, around 500,000 Colombian workers initiated an indefinite national strike, citing government failures to meet salary increase promises. The unions demand raises that align with inflation and counteract a regressive tax reform. The Federation of Education Workers, representing 380,000 public school teachers, joined the strike, advocating for more resources for public education. The strike has left over 8 million public school students without classes. Protesters urge the government to establish a dialogue table immediately. In March, both parties agreed to expand preschool education coverage, but educators withdrew from talks, accusing the government of citing resource shortages to renege on commitments.
