Colombia
_________________________________

The workers of the Board of Asociación Nacional de Servidores Públicos del Instituto Nacional de Vias – ANSEINVIAS are organising a campaign of organisation and prevention of fatigue: one group of activists is on the Bogota – Villavicencio Road, another group is on the Loma Bosconia – Cienaga Road. This highway is known as the highway of death due to the high rate of accidents. This highway is very important because it connects the interior and south of the country to the Colombian Caribbean and as such is often busy with trucks loaded with coal as well as general cargo and other vehicles transporting passengers.


SINCONTAXCAR started their campaign activities on 6 October, in conjunction with the international campaign for decent work. Union representatives met with taxi cab drivers and workers of all sectors at the Royal Hotel in Barranquilla between 14h00 and 18h00 with the assistance of 189 union leaders.  Posters and stickers were distributed as well as a document titled "There is Decent Work ... in the Taxi Cab Union".  On 14 October, union representatives attended a large meeting of the Taxi Cab Drivers' Union of Barranquilla and distributed a document on fatigue and the negative impact to taxi drivers.  The union explained the role of the ITF and the background to the ITF Road Transport Action Week.  On 16 October, the union was given a half hour slot on the most listened to radio news in Cartagena City, RCN Noticiero Popular.  They talked about the everyday problems that taxi drivers face and possible solutions, as well as the ITF 'Fatigue Kills' Campaign.


Chile
_________________________________

The Federación Nacional de Sindicatos de Conductores de Buses, Camiones, Actividades Afines y Conexas de Chile - FENASICOCH has expanded the geographical area where it has been developing the campaign in recent years. This year, the union campaign is primarily being developed in the north of the country, where there are large numbers of unorganised workers due to fear on the part of the workers to join a union and the lack of organisations that truly represent the interests of road transport workers.

Mexico

The Alianza de Tranviarios de México (ATM) are visiting truck drivers of the principal central market in Mexico City. They are talking with them about labour rights and the importance of days off in order to prevent accidents by fatigue. Other groups are talking with bus drivers at one of the central stations in Mexico City. Leaflets are being distributed to drivers. At the union’s head office, the union is having talks with workers about the importance of labour rights and security.
