The corporate world will do anything to crush any organising by their workforce. Everything from blacklisting union activists, to sacking those who speak out about wages and conditions. In some countries, and it could happen here, employers simply fire all the work force and start new, non-unionised workers in their place. What the employer doesn't want is for this to get out and create a backlash against their products, so please, spread the word on this one. Well Ansell makes medical gloves and condoms, we as members of the general public might not be able to boycott one, but sorry friends, solidarity, there are other brands.
800 striking workers in Sri Lanka need our help.
They are employed by Ansell, an Australian-based manufacturer of medical gloves and condoms. Ansell has replaced them with scabs in an attempt to break the union.
They’ve also sacked union officials and even assaulted the branch union president.
We’ve been asked by IndustriALL Global Union to mobilize thousands of people around the world to send messages of protest to Ansell.
Please take a moment to do so — click here.
It will make a difference.
Thanks very much.
