  • On opening day, Thai sex workers demonstrated in the exhibit area of the XV International AIDS Conference in Bangkok in 2004.

  • Hundreds of workers from southern Philippines have been camping out in Manila since 27 November 2018 to protest the labour conditions on Japanese-owned Sumitomo Fruit<br />
Corporation (Sumifru) plantations. Since declaring a strike on 1 October 2018, the<br />
workers have faced multiple attacks, including the killing of a prominent union member and the burning down of the union’s office and the houses of some members. <br />
<br />
The company still fails to regularise its workers and instead uses contractualisation – short and fixed-term employment where workers do not have security of tenure, pensions or other protections or rights, illegal under Philippine law. The company also uses piece-rate schemes that reduces workers' pay to under half the legal minimum wage.<br />
<br />
I've worked on bananas in several countries. Chiquita Brands paid $1.7m to AUC paramilitaries to assassinate trade union leaders, hundreds of them. Dole and others have knowingly used chemicals that endangered their workers lives. I was in meetings between workers and mangement of one farm in Costa Rica where 10,000 men had become sterile because of the chemicals, just on one farm. <br />
<br />
Watch where your bananas come from, many of the producer companies have blood on their hands. Support the SUMIFRU workers strike!
