Most of us take belonging to a trade union as a safe activity, but there are parts of this corporate world where you could pay with your life if you are an active trade union member. The state and the corporate world don't like organised people, and overt and covert dirty tricks will be undertaken to discourage the ordinary people from coming together to improve the living conditions.
This is an appeal from Labour Start on behalf of one of the many trade unionists who have paid with their lives for attempting to be organised.
Antonio "Dodong" Petalcorin,
the leader of a transport workers union in the Philippines, was shot
dead on 2 July 2013 right in front of his home.
The gunman was caught on a CCTV camera calmly escaping in a motorcycle. Dodong was the fifth transport workers union leader killed during the current presidency. We are calling on the Philippines' president, Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III, to ensure that Dodong's killers are caught and brought to justice.
Please help - it will take you just 30 seconds to send off your message of protest:

And please share this message with friends, family and fellow trade union members.
Thank you.
