Perú - Camposol refuses to honor collective agreement (2013)

Camposol, Peru’s largest agro-export company, hires the vast majority of its workforce of over 13,000 on various forms of temporary contracts. Company management routinely retaliates against workers who join a union or lodge complaints by placing them on “temporary leave” or refusing to renew their short-term contracts. In 2013, the company refused to honour an existing collective bargaining agreement and even filed frivolous legal charges against union leaders for exercising their right to strike.
