British migrant
rights activist Andy Hall faces 7 years imprisonment and $10 million in
damages from lawsuits brought by Thai pineapple company Natural
Fruit. http://www.labourstart.org
Hall's research for workers' rights NGO Finnwatch found serious abuses at
Natural Fruit’'s pineapple factory including child labour, illegally low
wages, confiscation of identity documents and violence.
Rather than address issues, Natural Fruit tried to silence Andy with
bogus lawsuits.
The first of several criminal trials begins on Tuesday 2 September.
Please support the online campaign demanding that the charges against
Andy be dropped:

After you've done that -- and here's the important bit -- please try to get your friends,
family and fellow union members to sign up as well.
Thanks very much.
