INTERNATIONAL DAY OF STRUGGLE FOR THE RIGHTS OF PENSIONIST AND RETIRED PEOPLE (P&Rs)

October 1 was established by the UN as the International Day of Seniors, or also day of the Elderly. Since the creation of the International Union of Trade Unions (TUI) of Pensioners and Retirees of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), this date has become a global day of struggle against exploitation, for the requirement of a decent life based on the wealth that the working class produces every day with their work.

After the meetings I was able to do in Colombia, thanks to the OCP, I received this:
 
COMRADE QUIM
UNION WORKING GROUP OF PENSIONERS AND RETIREES OF COLOMBIA "CTUPYJ"
IN THE WORLD DAY OF UIS P&R, CONVEYED A CONCENTRATION BEFORE THE MINISTRY OF LABOR FOR THE OCTOBER 1 AT 9:00 AM.
ONCE THE EVENT HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT, THE REPORT AND THE CORRESPONDING PICTURES WILL BE SENT.
CORDIAL GREETINGS
ANTONIO FORERO MAYORGA 
Presidente OCP, Organización Colombiana de Pensionados
