The comrades of the Sindicato de Artes e Ofícios Vários de Araxá (Syndicate of Various Arts and Crafts of Araxá), Minas Gerais, Brazil, affiliated to the Confederação Operária Brasileira (Brazilian Workers’ Confederation), Brazilian section of the International Workers Association, are under pressure from FF Commercial (Lotto and Finta brands) with the threat of imprisonment for defending workers’ rights.
As if the low wages and layoffs practiced by the above mentioned company were not enough, it has also been moving at the time a ‘lawsuit’ against one of our comrades under the motivation of ‘slander’.
In view of the above, we ask that all who can help us do so, sending again protest e-mails to:
afnit@araxa.com.br
fatima@finta.com.br
vilela.comercial@hotmail.com
cicero-representacoes@hotmail.com
flavio.golrep@hotmail.com
golrep2@hotmail.com
We thank you for consideration to this cause. For more information, please keep in touch with Brazilian Workers’ Confederation – Secretariat: cobforgs@yahoo.com.br
Workers’ Federation of Rio Grande do Sul: forgscob@yahoo.com.br
Cordially,
Pietro Riva, Rio Grande do Sul
