Dear Comrades, Please spare three minutes to sign and send this protest appeal. You may kindly help spread the campaign amongst persons on your email list. Thanks. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LabourStart <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 8:17 PM Subject: Shots fired at striking workers - your protests needed today To: [email protected]
First, Suzuki broke its agreement. Now shots have been fired at strikers, and the government has called the strike "illegal". Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Error! Filename not specified. Seven thousand Suzuki workers in India need our help today. Following an intense, and sometimes violent, month-long struggle, they finally reached agreement with the employer at the end of September. But when they returned to work, it turned out that Suzuki had changed its mind, and was not going to abide by the agreement it had signed. The result has been a resumption of the strike, with a violent reaction from management. Shots have been fired at the strikers. And the government is taking management's side, declaring the strike to be "illegal". Those workers, with the support of the International Metalworkers Federation, are asking for us to send messages -- thousands of messages -- to the company demanding that it stop the violence, and respect the agreement it signed with its workers. Please click here now to send off your message. And then forward this message on to your fellow trade unionists. We've also been asked by the International Transport Workers Federation to show our support to the Philippines airline union -- please click here to learn more and send your messages. Finally, UNI Global Union is running an online campaign in support of workers in El Salvador - you can sign up here. Thanks for your support! Error! Filename not specified.
