Cali, 2 October 2008 - The families of the striking sugar cane cutters have travelled to Cali to draw attention to their situation and to support the strike. Despite enormous efforts, the cane workers earn too little to ensure the physical survival of their families. So they stopped work on 15 September 2008. The "cooperatives" mentioned in the clip are labour cooperatives, a form of organisation the workers were pressured into in 2005. By that they lost their direct employment contracts with the sugar farm owners and the attendant rights and securities, such as social insurance, health insurance and the right to unionise.
