BOLIVIA: Morales upsets the unions
President Evo Morales successfully faced off his biggest ever
challenge from Bolivia's main union, the Central Obrera Boliviana (COB), since
taking office for the first time in January 2006, over his government's proposed
increase to the national minimum wage. The COB's stand against Morales and his
ruling Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) not only exposed divisions within the
sector itself but served as the latest illustration of the way in which, as with
the emergence of the left-wing Movimiento Sin Miedo (MSM) following last month's
elections [RA-10-04], the challenge to Morales is increasingly coming from the
disaffected Left rather than from the Right.
