Good Food, Good Life, Good Union - SBNIP!
On October 7, 2010, over 200 workers and their families – wearing caps from their Swiss sister union UNIA - rallied outside the Nescafe factory in Panjang, Indonesia, to denounce the corporate social irresponsibility of the world’s largest food company.
In its press release the union condemned Nestle Indonesia management’s blatant violation of ILO conventions 87 and 98 on collective bargaining and freedom of association by creating a fake union and pressuring workers into joining the fake union, while threatening those who want to join the real union, SBNIP.
The protest is the 44th rally organized by the IUF-affiliated SBNIP in Panjang during its more than three-year-long struggle. The union declared that protests will escalate in the coming months as part of the global Nespressure campaign.
