An appeal from LabourStart:
A
labour rights activist, Andy Hall, is facing the possibility of years
in prison and a multi-million dollar fine because he helped write a
report exposing rights violations, including the use of child labour, by
a fruit processing company in Thailand.
The charge against him is that he broadcasted "false statements to the media" -- which is untrue.
Two global union federations have launched an online campaign through LabourStart to mobilize thousands of protest messages demanding that the charges be dropped.

And then please spread the word to your fellow union members.

Thanks very much!
