Our colleagues from Sofidel in Poland are on strike today and need our support.
They have been in pay dispute for over 1 year – with local management delaying the process and not engaging in genuine dialogue.
So workers protested, used formal dispute procedure, including mediation, and now 99% of workers voted to have a warning strike on 3rd September 2018 (please see letter attached notifying about warning strike and explaining the reasons).
We would like to ask for your support by sending a solidarity message to Sofidel Group trade unions to write to Luigi Lazzareschi (lazzareschi.luigi@sofidel.com) and Hanna Konopko – Kotarba (hanna.Konopko-Kotarba@sofidel.com) expressing solidarity with protesting workers and calling for company to respect their Polish workers and resolve the dispute, and attaching the letter about the warning strike.
Please send a copy of your solidarity message to nicola.konstantinou@uniglobalunion.org; mariusz.skrzypek@uniglobalunion.org; Rafal.Tomasiak@uniglobalunion.org and solidarnoscsofidel@gmail.com.
Many thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Nicola Konstantinou, Head of UNI Graphical & Packaging
