In Europe, Trade Union federations from different countries are represented in the European Union as the ETUC(European Trade Union Confederation) and it is very important in europe because it works with the European commision, council, parlament, so we see that ETUC promotes and is efficient in making proccess for the workers.
On the other hand we see that colombia is a bit different in that every Trade Union is responsible for itself and has its own interest depending on the interests of the workers. Some trade unions in colombia are:
CUT - Central Unitaria de Trabajdores de Colombia
CGT - Confederación General del Trabajo - General Labor Confederation
CGTD - Confederación General de Trabajadores Democráticos - Democratic Workers General Confederation
CTC - Confederación de Trabajddores de Colombia - Colombian Workers Confederation
CPC - Confederación de Pensionados de Colombia - Colombian Pensioners Confederation
With what was said above we can see that Trade Unions are necessary in order to insure that the workers intersts are met. Also we see that Trade Unions in Colombia and Europe differ in that in Europe the Trade Unions are represented by one big organism which is the ETUC and in Colombia the federations represent themselves depending on their needs.
