NUW: Vitasoy workers solidarity

The NUW and IUF back Hong Kong Vitasoy unionists

Vitasoy members in regional Victoria continue to support their fellow workers internationally by including their brothers and sisters in Hong Kong in their current Enterprise Bargaining Agreement, and Hong Kong delegates issue their letter of demands.

The NUW is an affiliate of the International Union of Food Workers' Associations (IUF). The IUF is an international federation of trade unions representing workers employed in agriculture and plantations; the preparation and manufacture of food and beverages; hotels, restaurants and catering services; and all stages of tobacco processing.  The IUF is composed of 377 affiliated organizations in 119 countries representing a combined membership of around 2,6 million. They are supporting the Vitasoy workers in Hong Kong to gain union rights and improved living standards. They are also supporting the NUW and Victorian Vitasoy members in backing their brothers and sisters in Hong Kong.
