British-owned mining giant Rio Tinto has locked out 570 miners in Boron, California, USA. The miners are members of the of the Internationall Longshore and Warehouse Union in California.
Rio Tinto wants to starve these families into submission, forcing them to accept a contract that will destroy decent, family-supporting jobs.
Locking parents out of work. Destroying hope. Hurting children and dashing their dreams for a better life. That’s what Rio Tinto is doing in Boron, California.
Supporters of the Boron families will rally and picket at the meeting at Rio Tinto’s Annual General Meeting:
Thursday, 15 April 10:00 – 11:00 AM
Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre
Broad Sanctuary
Westminster
London SW1P 3EE
In North America our brothers and sisters also will picket that week at the British Consulates in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston and Vancouver.
Together we will send a message…
Rio Tinto: You can’t starve out the families in Boron.
End the lockout now!
Workers Uniting Group Suporters and Unite members are urged to support these comrades locked in struggle againt a giant multi-national coporation.
