GENEVA (ILO News) - The Director-General of the International Labour Organization, Juan Somavia, has made an urgent call for the end of violence and for ensuring the safety of trade union leaders in Guinea.
"The violence and confrontation in Conakry has already resulted in much loss of life and it threatens civilians and the leaders of trade unions, one of whom, Ms. Rabiatou Diallo, is a respected Member of the Governing Body of the ILO. I call on the authorities and all those who effectively exercise power in Guinea to ensure the safety of trade union leaders and immediately negotiate in good faith, to end the violence and find solutions through dialogue to the serious concerns expressed by the workers, the employers and the people of Guinea", said Mr. Somavia on Monday.
