Protect Workers' Right to Organize!
Protect Workers' Right to Organize!
The Issue
As human rights advocates around the world celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF) has released "Working for Scrooge: 5 Worst Companies for the Right to Associate" -- a list of the five worst multinational corporations for union organizing. Among other rights related to workers, the UDHR states that "everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests" (Article 23, Section 4).
The US-based companies on ILRF's list use intimidation and even violence to violate their workers' internationally recognized right to organize. Please send the e-mail below to Nestle, Dole, Del Monte, Russell/Fruit of the Loom and Wal-Mart telling them to protect their workers' freedom of association today.
