Diageo - Action and Help Needed!

The latest from Diageo Campaign HQ! Sent to Unite members - but just in case you missed it.

The campaign to reverse the decision to axe 900 jobs in Kilmarnock is having a big effect - but that we now need to turn our attention to winning the support of Diageo shareholders.

Next week Diageo are releasing their final year results - and we need to make sure that these proposed job losses are at the front and centre of investors' thoughts when they get the results.

We've set up an easy to use tool that lets you send a message to Diageo shareholders - all you need to do is click here:

It's important that we reach out to the shareholders - after all, it's these people that own Diageo - and can ultimately make the management see sense.

Our argument is clear and simple - that the business is sustainable and making profits in excess of £2 billion. That the Johnnie Walker brand will be fundamentally damaged. And that Diageo owes a duty of care to the hundreds of workers who have built their success.

In essence - we make the case that pulling out of Johnnie Walker will damage Diageo and therefore the investors' commercial interests.

Contacting Diageo's shareholders will take you less than a minute and could save countless jobs - will you send your message now?

Tony, we need to seize this moment. We've shown what we can do together - after all over 10,000 people have already signed our letter to Diageo boss Paul Walsh.

We can build on this success and we can protect these jobs.

We just need to come together and keep the pressure up. Please send your message now:
