***COSTA RICA: CHIQUITA SACKS WORKERS WHO REPORTEDPOISONING
If you ran a business and some of your employees cameto tell you that workers were being sprayed with atoxic chemical, wouldn't you listen to them? And if itturned out to be true, wouldn't you praise them forreporting the problem?That's not what Chiquita, oneof the world's biggest and best known fruit companies,did. Instead, they have sacked two union members(Alexander Reyes and Marcos Borge) and ignored theirwarnings.They've refused to negotiate with the union,which has called for an international campaign ofprotest.Please take a moment to send off yourmessage:http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show_campaign.cgi?c=251
