Another appeal from LabourStart for solidarity in an attempt to get Nestle to stop abusing workers as they try to organise into a trade union. One thing the corporate world does not like is organised workers, it is more difficult to exploit them, organised workers can stand up to the corporate greed merchants, individuals can be eliminated.
Nestlé is the world's largest food company. It is also a serial abuser of workers' rights.
This afternoon, the IUF - the global union federation for food workers - launched a major campaign calling on Nestlé to respect workers' rights.
The campaign call comes in the wake of Nestlé sacking workers in both Indonesia and Pakistan for daring to organize themselves into trade unions.
Last week, I asked you to help striking Suzuki workers in India. 96 hours after we launched the campaign, the company had reached agreement with the union and the strike was over.
This is going to be a longer and harder fight.
That's why it's so important that you not only send off your protest to Nestlé, but that you forward on this email.
Thank you!
Eric Lee
