The contract signed at Splendor Flowers last week brings to a triumphant close the most publicized battle for labor rights in Colombia’s recent history. Last year, Dole, Splendor’s owner, closed one of the subsidiary’s two farms in response to the strong union organizing that was going on there. Even with the drop in morale caused by the obliteration of the country’s strongest union, the union at the other farm, Splendor El Rosal, continued negotiations with the company.
