The WFTU is organising International Anti-Imperialist Meeting at Cochabamba, Bolivia on 30th June to July 2nd 2014.The meeting is co-organised by the COB Bolivia with the adherence of the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia.

It is appropriate and necessary that such an International Meeting is being held at a time when, the imperialism has sharpened its attacks on the working class all over the world. The wages are cut, the pensions are withdrawn and the trade unions rights being crushed by these imperialist countries. It is also important that the meeting is being held in Bolivia, where Che Guevara, the eternal Revolutionary, met his martyrdom, while fighting guerilla war to free the country from the US imperialism and its henchmen in Bolivia.

My Best Wishes for the success of the International Meeting. The workers expect important decisions to carry on the fight against imperialism.
