3. Struggle for the <strong>de</strong>f<strong>en</strong>se of food sovereignty,<br />
of <strong>en</strong>ergy resources, water, biodiversity and<br />
<strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>tal sustainability.<br />
4. Work towards unity in action of organized<br />
labor and social movem<strong>en</strong>ts, that struggle<br />
from each according to their work conditions,<br />
both formal and informal, unemployed, farm<br />
workers, indig<strong>en</strong>ous, dispossessed, retired<br />
and p<strong>en</strong>sioned workers, wom<strong>en</strong> and young<br />
workers.<br />
5. Continue to work to build unity in action<br />
with c<strong>en</strong>tral labor confe<strong>de</strong>rations, at the<br />
Regional and World level, where we can<br />
jointly <strong>de</strong>f<strong>en</strong>d the common interests of<br />
workers. Promote and create dialogue for the<br />
coordination of a platform for joint action.<br />
6. Join and work to build on labor unions at a<br />
regional level, based on the character which<br />
brings them together and on the <strong>de</strong>mocratic<br />
principles that sustain them.<br />
7. Build an <strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>t of collaboration with<br />
social organizations of the Americas, with<br />

At the op<strong>en</strong>ing ceremony, three working<br />

the c<strong>en</strong>tral themes that motivated the<br />
conv<strong>en</strong>ing; such as the structure of the<br />
ESNA, its i<strong>de</strong>ological cont<strong>en</strong>t, program and<br />
action, the creation of a c<strong>en</strong>ter or institute<br />
for the formation of cadre for the promotion<br />
of unity across the region that not only<br />
inclu<strong>de</strong>s labor unions, but also social, farm<br />
worker, indig<strong>en</strong>ous, cultural and territorial<br />
movem<strong>en</strong>ts, among others; all around the<br />
common <strong>de</strong>f<strong>en</strong>se of <strong>de</strong>mocratic principles,<br />
of pluralism, of sovereignty before the<br />
empire, and the g<strong>en</strong>eral impulse of struggle<br />
for progressive change.<br />
Equally, there was a g<strong>en</strong>eral repudiation<br />
by the workers of the liberalization of<br />
the economy, of paym<strong>en</strong>t of the external<br />
public <strong>de</strong>bt and the privatization in g<strong>en</strong>eral,<br />
as well as all form of subordination of the<br />
region and of the people to the interests<br />
of transnational capital, to a group of local<br />
economic interests and to the international<br />
system of domination and its institutions,<br />
among which inclu<strong>de</strong> the Group of the 20,<br />
the G-8, the International Monetary Fund,<br />
and the World Bank.<br />
The first of these tra<strong>de</strong> union meetings took<br />
place in Quito, Ecuador in 2008, later it was<br />
conv<strong>en</strong>ed in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2009; with<br />
the third of its kind taking place in Caracas<br />
V<strong>en</strong>ezuela this year [2010].<br />
Among the most important resolutions<br />
was the creation of an institute that would<br />
prepare and build on the skills of new labor<br />
lea<strong>de</strong>rs.<br />
The fourth tra<strong>de</strong> union meeting will take<br />
place in the Nicaraguan capital of Managua<br />
in august of 2011, during the celebration<br />
of the commemoration of the Sandinista<br />
Revolution of that C<strong>en</strong>tral American<br />
