Our Work in Honduras

Festago
Banana Link Partner

FESTAGRO – Federation of Trade Unions of Agribusiness Workers, is the result of an effort to unite agroindustrial workers in Honduras led by the former Coordinating Body of Honduran Banana Workers’ Unions COSIBAH. The federation’s actions are based on the principles of « unity, education and labour » in defence of the rights of workers in the country’s banana, sugarcane, melon and oilpalm industries.

Despite a generally hostile environment for trade unions and high levels of violence and emigration, the banana workers’ unions in FESTAGRO continue to secure collective agreements with their multinational and national company employers. Recent successful negotiations include renewed agreements between Dole and SITRABARIMASA, Guaruma Agroindustrial and STAS.
