municipal worker's union in Cali, SINTRAEMCALI, has long been a combative, militant, and popular union. From the early 1990s, SINTRAEMCALI has taken a stand for accessible public services and against privatization and corruption. It has struggled, unafraid and undeterred by threats and murders against its members, using direct action tactics like occupying the municipal offices in downtown Cali.


The tower has become a symbol of the struggle for workers rights and the defence of public services against the wave of privatisation sweeping the country in accordance with the global neoliberal mandate.
