An appeal from Labour Start.
Four months ago, PepsiCo workers in the company's West Bengal
warehouses formed a trade union. The company's reaction was to
threaten the workers with dismissal. They then hired some local
union-busting thugs who assaulted the workers. Fifty workers were
sacked. The workers reacted with a one-day strike and complained
to the police about the attacks. The police did nothing.
Then,
PepsiCo fired another 112 union members. So far, 162 out of 170 union
members have lost their jobs, replaced by scabs. The International
Union of Food workers has launched a major global campaign to put
pressure on the company to stop this vicious attack and to recognize
the workers' right to join trade unions.

Thank you!
