Protect Workers' Right to Organize!
GO HERE TO TAKE ACTION!
As human rights advocates around the world celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF) has released "Working for Scrooge: 5 Worst Companies for the Right to Associate" -- a list of the five worst multinational corporations for union organizing. Among other rights related to workers, the UDHR states that "everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests" (Article 23, Section 4).
The US-based companies on ILRF's list use intimidation and even violence to violate their workers' internationally recognized right to organize. Please send the e-mail below to Nestle, Dole, Del Monte, Russell/Fruit of the Loom and Wal-Mart telling them to protect their workers' freedom of association today. To view the list, please click here.
TAKE ACTION BY CLICKING HERE!!!
This is a one-time pledge that can be fulfilled between Dec 10, 2008 and Dec 10, 2009.

ooops, "You have already participated in this campaign" so I could not add:
TAKE A LESSON FROM HISTORY. IN THE DAYS OF HEALTHY UNIONS, THE ECONOMY PROSPERED AND EVERYONE DID WELL. BEFORE THAT, WORKERS WERE EXPLOITED AND ABUSED IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND CATASTROPHIC STOCK MARKET CRASH, ... AND EVERYONE SUFFERED, INCLUDING THE RICH.
HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF BECAUSE OUR "LORDS" DID NOT LEARN THE LESSON ABOUT AVARICE.
THE PEAK OF A PYRAMID DEPENDS ON THE STABILITY OF ITS BASE. WHEN THE BASE CRUMBLES, THE PEAK WILL INEVITABLY COLLAPSE ... LIKE ... CRASH!!!!

Rights eh? No corporation is going to allow rights for it workers. Eventually, the government itself will be the boss & there will be nothing we can do about it. Obama lied of his intentions to not join or plan the NAU & NAFTA. Some change, eh?
