In labor news, the newly-released annual report of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions says 115 trade unionists were murdered for defending workers’ rights last year. In addition, the group says 1,600 were subjected to violent assaults, 9,000 were arrested and nearly 10,000 were fired from their jobs due to trade union involvement. Colombia remained the most dangerous place to be a trade unionist, with 70 killings last year.
