Injured Colombian General Motors workers on hunger strike for disability compensation

---

Detroit, Michigan - Jorge Parra, president ASOTRECOL, of an association of General Motors workers who were fired from their jobs after suffering workplace injuries at GM's plant in Colombia, speaks outside GM headquarters, asking the company to compensate his members for their injuries. The workers have been on a hunger strike, living in tents outside the embassy in Bogota; some of them have sewn their mouths shut. Mediation of the dispute by the ambassador failed after GM offered only token compensation.
