Association for Labour starts functioning

Workers and employers want to start to talk about three topics; the informal economy, the Peruvian health system and organisational health and safety.
The Association for Labour is now looking for a an office and a director and secretary. A commission is formed to study means to generate stable resources for the Association. Mondiaal FNV and DECP will subsidize part of the costs during the first two years.
