Help us build a huge global campaign in support of Nestle workers

For more than 3 years, Nestlé has been violating basic trade union rights at its Nescafé factory in Panjang, Indonesia.

SBNIP, recognized for ten years as the union representing workers, has sought to exercise the basic right to negotiate the terms and conditions of employment.

The company's response was to harass union members, transfer them, and place them under video surveillance.

When intimidation failed, the company created a fake union and now insists that it must be part of any negotiations.

Enough is enough.

The IUF - the global union federation representing food workers - has just launched a major online campaign that aims to deliver thousands of message of protest to Nestlé.

The message is a simple one:

Stop pressuring your workers - and start talking to them.

Please take a moment to send off your message now -- (http://www.iuf.org/cgi-bin/campaigns/show_campaign.cgi?c=533) and forward this email on to others so we can build this into a huge campaign.

Thank you.

Eric Lee
