Tata Group: repression of West Bengal Tea Workers

Tea workers on the Nowera Nuddy Tea Estate in West Bengal, India have launched a new stage in their struggle for rights and justice. When workers protested over the treatment of a tea plucker in an advanced stage of pregnancy who was denied maternity leave and forced to work, management tried to starve them into submission by denying all wages and rations for 3 months. The IUF (Uniting food, farm and hotel workers world-wide) has taken up the issue. You can support their struggle by sending a message to Tata/Tetley – the power behind local management – telling them to meet the workers' demands NOW!
