STORYLINE:
Thousands of workers protested in the capitals of Peru and Ecuador on Thursday to demand better working rights on May Day.
In Quito the main trade union organizations marched with a clear objective, that of asking the recently re-elected president Daniel Noboa for a labor and pension reform that would give greater stability to the country’s Social Security Institute.
"We are here to tell the government that has won the elections that obviously the people are not going to give them a blank check" said union leader Isabel Vargas. "We are going to demand that they fulfil their campaign promises and that labor rights are respected."
In the Peruvian capital, Lima, a long column of demonstrators was heavily guarded by the national police.
During the demonstration, trade union leaders denounced the existence of exploitation and even what they called slavery in the labor field.
"We say no to exploitation of labor and slavery, neither in the public nor in the private sector, neither in the countryside nor in the city," said Manuel Coronado.
