Subject: Defend the right to organise in Carphone Warehouse! ***Please forward!
Dear friend,
*** Please forward!
Carphone Warehouse is victimising trade unionists. They have sacked one active member at their Wednesbury Logistics Centre already, and now they want to sack the CWU rep, Kulwinder Plaha, as well.
More information here: http://carphoneworker.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/carphone-union-busting-at-wednesbury-protest-now/
Our members need your support! We know from past experience that messages of protest make a difference. They show the company that our members are not alone; that they cannot persecute trade unionists behind closed doors.
Please take the time to send a message of protest to Carphone Warehouse CEO Charles Dunstone, over the sacking and victimisation of active CWU members. If you can, please make up your own. Otherwise, please use the draft text below.
We want to deluge them! Please send messages to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> and cc: CWU organiser Tom Dale [log in to unmask]

***Please forward this message!

Dear Charles Dunstone,
Re: Victimisations of active CWU members at Wednesbury Logistics Centre
I am writing in protest at the disgraceful treatment of CWU members at the Wednesbury Logistics Centre. The sacking of Sulinder Kumar and the current discipline case against Kulwinder Plaha are clearly attacks on the right to organise a union; revenge for the fact that the two dared to speak out. It is disgraceful that a company should be acting like this in the 21st Century.
I urge you to see to it that the two men are reinstated immediately, and that the culture of union busting at the Wednesbury site end now. Please keep me informed of your decisions in this matter.
Sincerely,
|
