For over a year, Salvadoran unions have been organizing at a level unseen since the end of the civil war, to prevent privatization of the remaining public sector. Coalitions of unions with broad popular support have organized conferences, educational rallies, marches and work stoppages to publicize the threat of privatization to workers and to the public, and to pressure the government to change its policies. The international labor movement would be greatly weakened if this were to happen in El Salvador. Many unions contribute funds to assist members in going on labor delegations.
