The camp after the thugs attacked.
|
On the morning of 24 October, around 180 hired thugs violently evicted
workers and peasant landowners from a protest camp at a mine in Mexico. The mine was owned by a Canadian company, Excellon Resources.
The protest camp had been running peacefully since July at the entrance
to the mining complex in order to put pressure on the company to
recognise freedom of association and the workers’ right to join a union.
A joint campaign sponsored by IndustriALL global union, Amnesty
International and PRODESC, a Mexican NGO, was today launched on
LabourStart:
It will take you only a couple of minutes to show your support for these workers. Please sign up, and spread the word.
Thank you!
