(http://en.maquilasolidarity.org/node/954) On August 16, 2010, thugs entered a plant owned by Johnson Controls in Puebla, Mexico, and assaulted them, according to reports, "with sticks and stones, leaving many injured." Two of the members of the Executive Committee of the newly formed union at the plant, Cándido Barreucos and Vigilio Melendez, were beaten in a company office and forced to sign letters of resignation, reportedly at gunpoint. They are currently in a hospital with severe injuries. |

The ITF-affiliated TÜMTIS has been taking steps in the recent months to unionise this company and its sub-contractors. As a result, 120 employees in Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir have been dismissed without any application of the procedures stipulated by Turkish law. UPS is a global company which says publicly in its corporate social responsibility report that it supports the rights of its workers to become members of a union. The reality in Turkey, however, is very different. |

De vele duizenden arbeiders van de tabaksverwerkende divisie van de Turkse ex-staatsgigant TEKEL zijn al sinds bijna twee maanden in actie. Zij eisen behoud van werkgelegenheid en werkgarantie op basis van vaste arbeidsovereenkomsten, zonder verlies van hun primaire en secundaire arbeidsvoorwaarden en andere sociale rechten en verworvenheden, zoals zij die tot nu toe genoten. Zaken, die zij dreigen te verliezen na het besluit van de Turkse Hoge Raad voor Privatisering onder leiding van premier Erdoğan, om in navolging van de dranken- en sigarettendivisie van TEKEL, nu ook de tabaksverwerkende divisie te privatiseren en aan British American Tobacco te verkopen. |
