Nestle faces co-ordinated international industrial action

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

The Justice and International Mission Unit of the Uniting Church has been highlighting corporate responsibility issues relating to Nestle for some time now (in areas such as unethical marketing of infant formula and their actions in the Philippines). According to Australian Asia Workers Links Nestle is feeling the heat on a few different fronts at the moment. In February 25 the Nestle Ponda and Nestle Bicholim unions in Goa, India, held protest actions against trade union rights violations at Nestle Waters in Russia. The unions, members of the IUF affiliated Federation of All India Nestle Employees, condemned union-busting at Nestle Domodedovo and demanded the reinstatement of the union vice-chair Sergei Strykov. Last year Nestle unions in India won collective bargaining rights with the support of the IUF’s global Nespresure campaign, and are now extending the same global solidarity to Nestle workers in Russia. Six days earlier, on February 19, Nestle workers picketed the gates of the company’s factory in Montevideo, Uruguay, to demand rights and recognition for Nestlé workers and their unions in Russia and Indonesia.
