Nestlé workers in Russia need our help today

Last November, workers at Nestlé Waters Direct near Moscow joined

together to do something about eroding real wages and deteriorating

working conditions. They formed a union.

 

Management responding by harassment, discriminatory work assignments,

cutting drivers' wages by half and sacking the union vice-chair. The

workers are determined to defend their union and win their rights.

 

Please support them by sending a message to Nestlé
