Filippinske Triumph-arbejdere fordrevet fra blokadevagt

Tirsdag den 4. maj, blev Triumph-arbejdere på Filippinerne med magt fjernet fra deres blokadevagt. Mere end 200 sikkerhedsstyrker trængte ind på den tidligere Triumph-fabriks område, skræmte og sårede blokadevagterne og ødelagt deres telte og kontor materialer. Sikkerhedsstyrkerne handlede på baggrund af et midlertidig retsligt tilhold, som blev udstedt den 23. april 2010. Triumph-arbejderne har nu oprettet en ny blokadevagt lidt længere nede ad gaden, hvor de fortsætter protesten mod deres urimelige og uregelmæssige afskedigelse i sommeren 2009.

Dear Madam/Sir,

I write to you today to express my serious concerns about the unresolved labour dispute between Triumph International and the former Triumph workers in Taguig City, who were dismissed in July 2009.

I learned that on May 4, 2010, more than 200 armed security forces entered the former Triumph International factory to evict the Triumph workers who have been protesting against their dismissals since summer 2009. They harassed and injured workers, destroyed picket tents and threw out office material. Moreover, I understand that in addition to the restraining order, the Food Terminal demands 7 million pesos for exemplary damages (approximately 117.000 euros), which includes 1.5 million pesos per month from January on.

The Triumph workers have been protesting for more than 10 months against Triumph International’s failure to follow international labour standards on union rights and massive retrenchments. An OECD complaint is currently taken up by the Swiss National Contact Point for the OECD guidelines. I also learned that meetings chaired by the National Mediation Conciliatory Board have not resulted in any favourable outcome due to Triumph’s refusal to credibly negotiate with the union. The Triumph workers are organised in the Bagong Pagkakaisa ng mga Manggagawa sa Triumph International union (BPMTI).

I call upon you to support the Triumph workers' struggle for a just compensation for their years in service of the multinational, and for respect of their workers' and union rights.

In particular I urge you to:

  • stop further harassment of the peacefully protesting workers,
  • refrain from implementing the temporary restraining order issued on April 23,
  • provide support to the former Triumph workers to establish a workers'  cooperation at the former Triumph factory.

 

Yours sincerely,

Afstemning

Arbejdslønnen på tøjfabrikkerne i Asien udgør normalt mellem 0.5% og 3% af den pris, tøjet koster i butikkerne. Vil du være parat til at betale mere for at sikre en ordentlig løn til arbejderne?
