Help FAWU defend jobs in its fight against Kraft's insatiable appetite for profit
Kraft, the second largest food company in the world is presently trying to crush trade union organisation in its factory in Elandsfontein in South Africa.

The Food and Allied Workers Union is trying to protect jobs in a country where unemployment is running at 43%. Kraft's actions are the latest in its world wide job cutting programme that has seen another seven factories close so far this year on the way to its target of 560 million USD "costs" savings for 2006.The 314 workers have been locked out since May 29th when the company imported scab labour to do their jobs. In its determination to protect jobs FAWU is seeking assurances on job security and a severance payments scheme that treats all workers as equals.

Help these workers in their fight for jobs and send a message of protest to Kraft.
