Cuando las Cooperativas Devoran a sus Trabajadores | María Galindo | Radiodocumental Radio Deseo

In this Radio Deseo documentary, María Galindo enters the offices of COTEL (La Paz Telephone Cooperative) unannounced to expose a case that reveals the structural rot within an institution that was once an emblem of telecommunications in Bolivia. A working father, Fredy Ticona, comes to the program because the cooperative withholds child support payments for his three children directly from his salary each month, but never gives them to the mother. While other users pay on time and are cut off if they are a month late, this family is owed more than 63,000 bolivianos and two and a half years of withheld child support payments. But digging deeper reveals a much deeper problem: workers with up to 27 months of unpaid wages, board members earning 16,000 bolivianos while technicians survive on 45% of their salaries, bank accounts frozen since 2012, and a cooperative losing customers to multinationals (Viva, Tigo, Starlink) for failing to update its technology. A stark record of the struggle for children's rights, labor dignity, and the defense of the cooperative model against internal and external exploitation. A collective constitutional action has been announced on behalf of all COTEL children receiving withheld child support payments. 📍 Free assistance for cases of withheld child support payments at COTEL: 20 de Octubre Street #2060 (between Aspiazu and JJ Pérez), La Paz. Hours: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Monday to Friday).
