Rights on

Next time you’re shopping, thinking that the FairTrade option is a middle class affectation, bear in mind that in 2006, 144 trade unionists were murdered for defending workers’ rights, while more than 800 suffered beatings or torture.
These figures are provided by a worldwide survey by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and show an increase in anti-trade union violence, with the number of murders rising from 115 in 2005 to 144 in 2006. These guys’ survey with case studies and videos of reports on trade union murders can be found on their website.
