Liyannaj Kont Pwofitasyon

Liyannaj Kont Pwofitasyon, or LKP, is an umbrella group of approximately fifty trade unions and social movements in Guadeloupe. It spearheaded the general strike beginning in January 2009.[1]

Name edit

The name of the umbrella group comes from the local Antillean Creole language.[1] The Liyannaj Kont Pwofitasyon (LKP) is translated to "Stand up against exploitation" in English or the "Collectif contre l'exploitation outrancière" in French.[2]
