Thanks for sending a copy to the UMT :

"Nous militants syndicaux de (name of the Union, exemple Workers
Initiative, Pologne) nous solidarisons des ouvriers en lutte de Maraissa
pour le droit au respect."

WORKERS OF MARAISSA (MOROCCO): "A GREAT SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN IS NEEDED ! "
Agricultural bosses in Morocco are orchestrating a strong offensive
against trade union rights. The current impact of the crisis should,
according to them, be supported by farmers. The case of the company
MARISSA (Franco-Moroccan private company owned by the AZURA group) speaks
for itself.
By hatred or contempt, or by revenge, dozens of workers - from them trade
unionists affiliated to the Moroccan Working Union Marocaine du Travail
(National Federation of the Agricultural Sector) - were dismissed by the
Maraissa company
(Azura Group) whose headquarters are located in Chtouka / Region of Agadir.
This company produces and exports fruits and vegetables to the EU and to
France in particular.
We call for solidarity to all trade unionists struggling against all
slavery forms whose moroccans workers, who work in terrible conditions in
the Azura group farms, suffer. (phrase à refaire)
This offensive of their chiefs happens just after the Maraissa workers
successful strike, the 15, 19 and 21 of January 2009. The company has
neither supported, nor accepted, the solidarity between workers against
this ’moyenâgeuse’ exploitation provided by their society.
