press release
Wednesday June 16, 2004 10:31 by Haiti Support Group haitisupport at gn dot apc dot org
Take action now Grupo M has fired 301 Workers at the Codevi free trade zone at Ouanaminthe. Dominican soldiers have been brought in to terrorise the Workers. The management has threatened to close the factory down rather than negotiate on pay and conditions with the union. Since the beginning of June there has been a dramatic deterioration in the situation at the Codevi free trade zone in north-east Haiti. Following an international campaign in support of the 34 union members sacked in early March, negotiations in April led to an agreement between management and Workers. By mid-May, all the sacked Workers were back to work but, on 4 June, a breach of the May agreement led to a one-hour warning strike. The following day, the head of the Grupo M company arrived at the Codevi plant to tell Workers that the plant would probably be shut down because of the continuing labour unrest. Then, in the afternoon, after another dispute had developed when management forcibly removed the t-shirts and ID badges of a group of women, the management called in the Dominican Army to expel Workers from the free trade zone. |
