TRADE UNION RIGHTS IN COSTA RICA

That this House expresses deep concern over the treatment of the SITRAP trade union activist Allan Hernandez Venegas and his family; notes that, after recruiting members to the Union in the Del Monte pineapple plantation of Saint Peter located in the Limon province of Costa Rica, his house was burnt down, leaving both Mr Venegas and his family with nothing but the clothes they were wearing; further notes that this is believed by SITRAP officials to have been caused by arson in retaliation for his activity; supports the GMB appeal to raise money for Mr Venegas; and calls on the Government to condemn any attacks on trade union activities in Costa Rica.
