Solidarismo: Union-busting Costa Rica-style

The solidarismo movement is a federation of self-financed pro-management workers' associations, and now has as many members in Costa Rica as the independent trade unions, especially in the commercial and light industrial sectors. Trade unions see solidarismo as a deliberate attempt to eliminate and replace the most basic rights of workers to organise trade unions and engage in collective bargaining.
