On July 27, a new union representing cleaning workers across Colombia was officially established. The organization, known as SINTRALIMCO, brings together employees from several companies that operate throughout the country, including Sodexo, Elite, and Casa Limpia.
The creation of SINTRALIMCO addresses ongoing issues faced by workers in the cleaning sector. Many have experienced exclusion, discrimination, and a lack of recognition despite their role being essential to daily life and economic activity.
Marcio Monzane, Regional Secretary of UNI Americas, commented on the significance of this development: “For UNI Americas, the creation of SINTRALIMCO represents a firm step toward dignity, justice, and the full recognition of cleaning worker’s labor rights.”
