For the last 3 months, more than 1,000 Honduran construction workers building the new United States embassy in Tegucigalpa have been striking against Alabama-based mega-prison contractor B.L. Harbert and their ultimate employer, the U.S. State Department, to demand safe working conditions, job security, and fair compensation in compliance with Honduran labor law. Join the DSA International Committee and DSA National Labor Commission for a bilingual webinar to hear directly from the striking workers in Honduras, co-sponsored by US- and Honduras-based solidarity organizations.

The event will be entirely bilingual with simultaneous English-Spanish interpretation.

Speakers will include:

• Adolfo Álvarez, embassy construction worker and spokesperson of the strike committee in Tegucigalpa

• Carlos H Reyes, Honduran labor activist with the Union of Beverage and Related Industry Workers (STIBYS)

• Dr. Adrienne Pine, an anthropologist specializing in Honduras and activist with the Honduras Solidarity Network

• Brigitte Gynther, Program and Research Coordinator for School of the Americas Watch

Cosponsored by:
