The Colombian drug trafficking organization, "Los Rastrojos," declared that Colombia's largest union and its members will be considered "military targets," local media reported on Tuesday.
The Central Confederation of Workers (CUT) have denounced the declaration and the death threats its members allegedly recieved from Los Rastrojos.
"We have received the threats via email," said union president Domingo Tovar.
Tovar said that the threats were made shortly after the leaders of the CUT met with the interior minister, Fernando Carrillo, to discuss "the human rights situation within the union movement."
