In April 2014, the union representing workers at Risk Control, Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Empresa Risk Control, in the oil sector, denounced physical assaults and attempts on the lives and health of its members. The incidents took place whilst they were providing security services at the pipelines of oil company Savia Perú.
The union also denounced the absence of labour inspectors in the city of Talara and the company’s refusal to submit its responses to the collective bargaining proposals of 2012 and 2013.
According to the union, the company’s managers did not comply with the legal procedures established, failing to report the incidents to the National Police and other relevant authorities.
Regional government officials, for their part, refused to give orders to request the presence of labour inspectors.
