Members of the Nestle Employees Union Kabirwala held their general body meeting on November 24 and pledged to continue their struggle for justice in their factory and at the Nescafé factory in Panjang, Indonesia.

The meeting condemned their management’s use of all available means to sideline and eliminate union president Bhatti, including fake police charges and suspensions, and reaffirmed their support for him. They pledged as well to continue supporting the struggle of the contract workers seeking permanent employment.

The meeting strongly condemned trade union rights violations at the Panjang factory and called on Nestlé management to enter into negotiations for the reinstatement of the dismissed union members.
