Hong Kong Unions Say Stop Nespressure in Indonesia!

The Hong Kong national union center HKCTU took the struggle for union rights at Nestlé to the heart of central Hong Kong on August 27. Rallying outside the up-scale Nespresso boutique, the union members passed out leaflets describing Nestlé management's refusal to include wages in collective bargaining and absurd contention that wage scales for Nescafé workers are a "commercial secret". Banners and leaflets called on Nestlé to immediately start negotiating in good faith with the SBNIP at Panjang for a collective agreement that includes wages and the wage scale for all workers, to stop using the industrial courts to avoid genuine collective bargaining and to respect freedom of association.
