Jailed labour rights
advocates face prison
Datum: Mittwoch, 20. Oktober 2010 21:52
Once
again this week I need to ask for your help to secure the release
of jailed
workers.
This time it's the Vietnamese government which is at fault.
They've
jailed three young labour rights advocates who face up to 15 years
imprisonment for organizing a strike by some 10,000 workers at a shoe
factory
back in January.
Here are the activists - Doan Huy Chuong, Nguyen Hoang
Quoc Hung, and
Do Thi Minh Hanh:
They need our help.
Their
trial is expected to start this month, so it's urgent that we
flood the
authorities with messages of protest.
Please
take a moment to send off your message now

.
Meanwhile, DHL is facing a major trade union campaign organized by
two global union federations (the ITF and UNI). Check out their new
website <

where you can also send off a message

to the
company.
Finally, you might find my latest podcast on labour and
technology of
some interest this week -- it focusses on online communities
and one
of the challenges we face when building them. You can listen to it

Thanks
very much for your continuing support and help.
