S ome 5,000 workers and supporters demonstrated 30 January in Bangkok against the imminent privatisation of Thailand's electric industry. The demonstration signifies the growing disgust over the government's obstruction to workers of ICEM affiliate EGAT-Lu having a say in the privatisation process.

Members of EGAT-LU march 30 January in Bangkok 
protesting government's privatisation 
of electric energy 
The rally occurred five days after a hearing was held purportedly to give workers employed by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) an opportunity to air their views and concerns. But the politicians and policy-makers failed to attend and government bureaucrats staffed the hearing. When many of the 1,000 EGAT-LU members in attendance were denied the opportunity to speak, visible demonstrations inside the meeting hall ensued until authorities squashed them. 
 
The hearing was abruptly halted when workers walked out. 
 
 

<img height="263" alt="" src="" width="350" />
&quot;The walkout occurred because participants were treated unfairly by the chair,&quot; said EGAT-LU General Secretary Sirichai Maingam. &quot;Many were not allowed to express their opinions, and the government bureaucrats did not answer questions from the floor.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;
That prompted the 30 January demonstration in which EGAT-LU members and workers affiliated with two other unions at EGAT marched outside the Thai Parliament. This demonstration was joined by hundreds of people from Thailand's Assembly of the Poor, a grass-roots organisation representing those adversely affected by mega-development projects. 
 
ICEM General Secretary Fred Higgs said access to secure, safe and affordable energy in meeting the needs of a country's citizens &quot;is a fundamental right which fulfills basic social needs. 
 
&quot;Evidence exists worldwide that privatisation of essential services inevitably leads to price hikes as electricity or a nation's water supply is treated as a commodity that is traded for maximum profit,&quot; stated Higgs. 
 
The ICEM issued a global call to all affiliates in the energy and electric industries 19 January to protest the freezing out of workers' views over electric privatisation in Thailand. Some 20 affiliates responded with letters to Prime Minister Dr. Thaskin Sinawatra and Energy Minister Sathaporn Maneerat. 
 
EGAT is scheduled to be registered as a holding firm 1 March on Bangkok's stock exchange. &quot;We will continue to monitor the process, to bargain for EGAT workers' rights, benefits and job security,&quot; pledged EGAT-LU General Secretary Sirichai. &quot;We will observe closely the impact of privatisation as well as the impact on the general public regarding prices. And we will vigilantly keep our eyes on the buying and selling of EGAT shares to know who are the buyers and investors.&quot;

Demonstrations Occur Over Thailand&#039;s Electric Privatisation

U nion members at Imerys in Sylacauga, Alabama, reaffirmed their commitment to ICEM affiliate Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy (PACE) Workers Union 21 January by voting to retain the union. Workers voted 233-108 for union representation in a decertification ballot under US labour law. 
 
Imerys is a French-based producer of building and construction materials. PACE and ICEM took Imerys on in 1999-2000 when the firm purchased a non-union plant adjacent to its PACE-represented one in Sylacauga. The company claimed the combined workforce no longer wanted union representation and orchestrated a petition that allows the US government to conduct a &quot;yes&quot; or &quot;no&quot; vote. For the second time, workers have now voted for the union. 
 
&quot;It is unfortunate that Imerys has not changed its anti-union position,&quot; said PACE Vice President Don Langham, a member of ICEM's Presidium. &quot;We are prepared to restart the global campaign unless the company's behavior changes.&quot; 
 
PACE and ICEM successfully took on Imerys in 1999-2000 over local management's combined workforce scheme. The two labour unions brought the Alabama dispute before Imerys workers in France, Belgium, Australia and UK. The dispute became the focal point at the company's AGM in Paris. And prior to the June 2000 vote by workers, ICEM General Secretary Fred Higgs visited Sylacauga and pledged to make &quot;it so hot&quot; for Imerys that it would want a &quot;solution.&quot; The global pressure softened management's resolve, and workers became less burdened and more in tune with making a free and open-minded choice. 
 
Workers then overwhelmingly voted for PACE and a three-year labour agreement was negotiated. 
 
As the contract expired, local Imerys managers used US labour law to revert to their old form. With the three-year contract expiring in early 2004, they bombarded workers with blatant anti-union materials and rhetoric at home and at work. 
 
&quot;Since we have been through the first election and contract negotiations, we have attempted time and time again to build a strong work relationship with Imerys,&quot; said PACE Local 3/516 President Keith Fulbright. &quot;Unfortunately, local management is still intent on destroying any relationship with their employees.&quot; 
 
ICEM and its affiliates throughout the company's global operations will be closely following future developments in Sylacauga.

PACE Again Wins Imerys Election

A week before the Thai government holds a public hearing on privatisation of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), the 20-million-member ICEM has again questioned the logic of privatizing an essential service and is asking for specific criteria if the government's plan moves forward. 
 
In a call to all 400 ICEM affiliates in 120 nations to protest the spin-off of the public power industry into shares of a holding company-and in a second letter to Prime Minister Dr. Thaskin Sinawatra-the ICEM has again reinforced the position of Thai affiliate EGAT-LU that it be heard on the matter. The ICEM's Asia-Pacific Region has already urged affiliates comprising the ICEM's Asia-Pacific Electric Power Network to voice opposition. 
 
&quot;It is a matter of public record that our affiliate strongly desires that EGAT remain a state-owned utility with a public mandate to provide a reliable, affordable and accessible service,&quot; wrote ICEM General Secretary Fred Higgs to Dr. Sinawatra. 
 
Thailand's government is acting to privatise electric power under its 1999 Corporatisation Act, a measure designed to satisfy an economic reform programme designed by the International Monetary Fund following the Asian economic fallout of the mid-1990s. But the government had refused to meet with leaders of EGAT-LU over the issue until late last year when it set up a tripartite committee. The Finance Ministry's representative to this committee had no real decision-making power, the union quickly learned. 
 
The public hearing set for 25 January is seen as a final effort to appease the union representing the interests of 17,600 workers employed by the utility. The government has set a target date of first quarter 2004 when the holding company will be officially registered and shares of it are listed on Thailand's stock exchange. 
 
Higgs, in reaffirming EGAT-LU's position on the inevitable, said a set of principles must be adhered to in the structural transfer of the power industry: the process must be transparent and democratic; Thailand retain a majority equity of EGAT; domestic investment be encouraged and made a priority; price regulation be stable and affordable to workers and the poor; job security be guaranteed; EGAT-LU be fully involved in the transition; Union leadership be given the facilities to consult freely with workers and to report to workers on negotiations over the transition; and full agreement be reached before the new policy is implemented. 
 
Higgs added: &quot;&hellip; our members and the public at large oppose your current policies and are extremely concerned. The ICEM fully shares these concerns and together with our brothers and sisters in the Asia-Pacific Electric Power Network, we are keenly awaiting the outcome of your consultations and negotiations with EGAT-LU. We believe if your government follows the above recommended approach of dialogue, your policies stand a better chance of achieving credibility &hellip;&quot; 
 
EGAT-LU is planning to have over 1,000 workers attend the public hearing. The union and other unions representing public sector employees will conduct a mass rally on 30 January seeking government revision of some 11 economic reform bills in which privatisation aspects are part of. 
 
Higgs is asking all ICEM affiliates to register opposition to Thai privatisation initiatives and voice support for EGAT-LU's position. The global union federation is specifically calling on energy and power affiliates in some 65 countries-representing 9 million workers-to make a stand against privatisation with EGAT-LU.

ICEM Again Protests Thai Electric Privatisation

A global call for support and attention directed at one the world's leading glass producers halted a Colombian labour dispute, giving ICEM affiliate Sintravidricol a new two-year collective agreement with that country's number one glass maker. 
 
Peldar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of leading US glass manufacturer Owens Illinois agreed to the labour contract at its four plants on the eve of a strike and after ICEM and affiliates lodged official protests to the company over negligent labour practices in Colombia. 
 
Sindravidricol had a collective agreement in place with Peldar since 1999 but following Owens Illinois purchases of other glass operations, Peldar refused to negotiate a current contract. The Colombian glass union had continuously requested dialogue on social issues, but the efforts were rebuffed. 
 
Last week, ICEM General Secretary Fred Higgs contacted Peldar's management urging resolution, and that came after a pointed letter arrived at the firm's Colombian headquarters from ICEM's Latin America/Caribbean regional office. 
 
Simultaneously, the Flint/Glass Industry Conference of the United Steelworkers of America and other US glass unions, meeting in Pennsylvania, protested directly to Owens Illinois co-CEOs Terry Wilkinson and Thomas Young. 
 
&quot;In spite of the company's positive financial results, Peldar refuses to discuss the union's ideas and initiatives to improve working conditions,&quot; wrote Flint/Glass Conference Chairman Timothy Tuttle. &quot;Our respective organizations in North America have always enjoyed a productive and progressive working relationship that has been mutually beneficial. It is beyond my comprehension why you would not embrace the same relationship with Glass Workers in Colombia.&quot; 
 
The attention-plus Sintravidricol members commencing plans for strike actions-convinced Peldar to negotiate. The union lauded the agreement reached 9 January that gives workers a first-year 8.8% wage increase (retroactive to 21 November 2003) and a second-year hike equal to the Colombian consumer cost index plus 1%. In addition, Sintravidricol won bonuses for education and for health. 
 
&quot;We're thankful for the support of the workers, their conviction and their strength to defend their rights in the face of extreme circumstances,&quot; said Sintravidricol's Peldar Unit President Luis Fernando Pel&aacute;ez Montoya. &quot;In the same way, we recognize and thank most sincerely the international and national organizations who brought support. There is not doubt that this agreement is a triumph for workers and for the union.&quot; 
 
Peldar is the leading glassmaker in Brazil, Peru and Colombia, as well the second biggest in Venezuela, Ecuador and Puerto Rico, and its brands comprise the largest supply chain of glassware and tableware in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Glass Affiliate in Colombia Wins Major Victory

T he sacking of 24 jewelry workers in Thailand for union activities has brought the ire of ICEM to the doorstep a German firm. MKS Jewelry International Co. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of German-based J.E. Hammer &amp; Sohne GmbH, fired the 24 after they registered for union status with the Thai Ministry of Labour. 
 

<img height="241" src="" width="350" alt="" />
ICEM staffers Phee Jung-sun and Yamina Zebchine-DeLaet help organize jewelry workers in Thailand 
The workers, part of a 450-person labor force at a Bangkok casting and polishing factory in which 90% are women, were organizing with an ICEM affiliate over management's undignified body searches on suspicion of theft. Last spring, after 36 workplace leaders filed for union registry with the ministry while the remainder waited outside the plant, MKS Jewelry faxed a letter to a ministry officer in Pravate District stating employees were welcome to return to work without fear of punishment. 
 
But weeks later and following official approval by the ministry as a union, the 24 were not only sacked but MKS distributed their names to the many other firms operating in jewelry-producing Gemopolis Industrial Estate of Pravate. 
 
ICEM General Secretary Fred Higgs filed a strong protest against MKS's actions with J.E. Hammer &amp; Sohne, a 140-year-old luxury jewelry maker based in Pforzheim, Germany. 
 
&quot;One of the reasons for workers at MKS creating a union &hellip; was the obscene way in which body searches were done,&quot; wrote Higgs. &quot;These workers were stripped of their clothes and subjected to body touching. When workers lodged complaints, management replied they will continue this practice and simple suspicion will be enough to continue this undignified practice. It must be noted that no company property or materials were found on the workers, and nothing was reported even to be lost.&quot; 
 
Higgs said MKS's firings violate core ILO Conventions 87 and 98 on Freedom of Association and the Right to Organize, and Convention 158, terminating employment on the grounds on union membership. 
 
ICEM requested that J.E. Hammer &amp; Sohne intervene in Thailand to reinstate the workers, and to commence good-faith dialogue with the Thai union to reach accord on employment terms and working conditions. ICEM also informed the German parent that the global union federation was compiling a list of clients and retailers of the company in order to alert them to the harsh actions by managers in Thailand.&nbsp;

ICEM Stands Firm with Thai Jewelry Workers

T he 20-million-member ICEM, the leading global union federation of the chemicals industry, applauded language adopted in a report at a UN International Labour Office (ILO) conference in Geneva 27-31 October. The ICEM was fully involved in deliberations and drafting of the report with representation from 16 affiliates from separate nations taking major leadership on the document. 
 
The ILO's Tripartite Meeting on Best Practices in Work-Flexibility Schemes and Their Impact on the Quality of Working Life in the Chemical Industries produced balanced language that ensures labour rights in temporary and contract work, workload balances, outsourcing and women's participation and work schemes in today's chemical world. Conference participants included 20 representatives of labour organisations, 20 from employers groups and 28 government officials. 
 
&quot;We are well satisfied with the results of this conference,&quot; stated Michael Mersmann, global chairman of ICEM's Chemical and Bio-Science Section. &quot;Now it is important that we implement this policy and much will depend on future work with the employers through ILO guidance.&quot; Mersmann, from IGBCE in Germany, served as chair and spokesperson of the workers' group. 
 
Specifically, the proposals adopted include securing fundamental rights including the right of temporary and contract workers to organize into unions; defining accurately various work-load balances; respect for collective bargaining agreements when outsourcing; a realization of the benefits to both workers and employers for allowing flexible work schemes for women; and the positive effect general work flexibility can have on employment stability and job satisfaction. 
 
Regarding workload balances, the report puts a premium of conditions of work, how work in the chemicals industries is organized, strict assurances of health and safety, equality and training and development opportunities, as well as adequate remuneration and striving to maximize worker potential in the industry. Labour, employer and governments are called on to recognise the positive effects work flexibility has on lifestyles especially when combined with multi-skilling and life-long training. 
 
The ILO conducts such conferences in some 20 separate industries, with each industry sector meeting once every four years.

ILO Chemical Conference Produces Positive Roadmap

A n ICEM affiliate, US-based Paper, Allied-Industrial, Energy, Chemical (PACE) Workers Union, successfully affiliated another union not part of the formal American labour movement. On 21 October, workers at DuPont Soy Polymers in Louisville, Kentucky, voted for collective bargaining representation by the preeminent oil, chemicals and paper union in the US. 
 
The workers previously had been represented by the Independent Factory Workers Union (IFWU). In the US, with very few exceptions, Dupont workers either have representation by such stand-alone unions or have no union at all. The decision to join 300,000-member PACE marks the seventh such union at DuPont to throw in with the Nashville, Tennessee-based union. 
 
&quot;The committee decided it would be in the union's best interest to bring in some outside help,&quot; stated IFWU President Ronnie Sanders, adding that unions such as his &quot;are finding it increasingly difficult to deal with multinational firms in terms of bargaining and basic representation rights of workers.&quot; 
 
The plant with 50 union members produces specialty food ingredients from soy products. DuPont acquired the plant as part of its 1997 purchase of Protein Technologies from Ralston Purina. 
 
Previously, workers at DuPont stand-alone unions in Buffalo, New York, Edgemoor, Delaware, Louisville, Kentucky (DuPontDow Elastomers), and three separate units in Deepwater, New Jersey, have voted to affiliate with PACE.

ICEM Affiliate PACE Organises DuPont Workers

The sacking of 300 union glass workers in the Turkish town of Eskisehir has caused the 20-million-member International Chemical, Energy, Mine &amp; General Workers' Union (ICEM) to lodge an official protest with the offending company and the government of Turkey. 
<img height="191" src="" width="350" alt="" />
Union members of Kristal-İş in Eskisehir protest firings. 

On 27 September 2003, the 300 members of ICEM affiliate Kristal-İş, the Glass, Cement and Soil Industries Workers' Trade Union, were fired, launching a mass sit-down strike at a factory of world glass exporter Pasabahce Co. Earlier in September, 700 workers including contractors at the plant in the Anatolia region of northwestern Turkey voted for union representation. The company (part of the holding firm Şişe-Cam Group) countered by attempting to force the resignation of the union leaders, but the unionists resisted this illegal pressure. Some two weeks later the company then sacked the 300 and hired other workers in an effort to block a union majority at the plant. 
 
The terminations caused a sit-down by those discharged and their families outside the plant, and the remaining 400 workers inside the plant also commenced with a sit-down strike. In addition, some 5,000 unionised Turkish glass workers in other parts of the country condemned Pasabahce's unfair act with sit-down strikes and demonstrations at their factories. 
 
In a 2 October letter to Pasabahce chairperson Gulsum Azeri, ICEM General Secretary Fred Higgs wrote, &quot;&hellip; your company's actions violate core Conventions of the International labour Organisation of the United Nations, namely Conventions 87 and 98 on the Freedom of Association and the Right to Organise, and Convention 158 prohibiting employment termination on the grounds of union membership. These ILO Conventions have been ratified by the Republic of Turkey. 
 
&quot;Further, such infringement of workers' legitimate rights runs counter to the labour standards of the European Union and does not bode well for wither you or the Republic of Turkey as your country makes preparations for entry into the EU.&quot; Higgs called on the company to immediate reinstate the discharged workers, and to come to agreeable collective bargaining terms. The protest letter was also sent to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayip Erdogan and Labour and Social Security Minister Murat Basesgioglu. 
 
Since last year, the Glass, Cement and Clay Products Industry Employers' Association of Turkey has been particularly harsh on Kristal-İş, terminating the industry-wide collective bargaining agreement and tying the matter up in litigation. The glass industry has hindered collective bargaining by relying on the antiquated 10% threshold rule of the Collective Agreement Code in which 10% of workers in an entire industry must be union workers before a trade union is recognized for collective bargaining. Nearly all glass workers in Turkey are union members of Kristal-İş, as evidenced by the mass strikes and demonstrations in support of the 300 workers fired at Eskisehir on 27 September.

Mrs. Azeri: 
 
On behalf of the 20-million-member International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine and General Workers&rsquo; Unions (ICEM), I am writing in serious protest over the conduct of your company regarding the dismissal of 300 members of ICEM affiliate Glass, Cement, and Soil Industries Workers&rsquo; Trade Union on 27 September 2003 due to their legal trade union activity. 
 
According to information we have received, Pasabahce Co. fired the union workers in Eskisehir, Turkey, after they and others lawfully chose union representation early in September. After management tried to force their resignation and the workers resisted this illegal action, the 300 union members were terminated. 
 
I would remind you that your company&rsquo;s actions violate core Conventions of the International Labour Organisation of the United Nations, namely Conventions 87 and 98 on Freedom of Association and the Right to Organise, and Convention 158 prohibiting employment termination on the grounds of union membership. These ILO Conventions have been ratified by the Republic of Turkey. 
 
Further, such infringement of workers&rsquo; legitimate rights runs counter to the labour standards of the European Union and does not bode well for either you or the Republic of Turkey as your country makes preparations for entry into the EU. 
 
I specifically request that Pasabahce Co. of the Sisecam Group immediately reinstate the discharged workers, and commence dialogue with ICEM affiliate Glass, Cement, and Soil Industries Workers&rsquo; Trade Union of Turkey to achieve agreeable employment terms and working conditions at this plant in Eskisehir. 
 
I look forward to your response on this matter. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Fred Higgs

ICEM Speaks Out on Union-Busting in Turkish Glass Sector

G oodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Co.'s further downsizing at a major UK tyre factory is a big concern to two ICEM affiliates, the Transport &amp; General Workers' Union (T&amp;G) and AMICUS. In the wake of signing a three-year labour accord with the United Steelworkers of America that the firm admits will save US$1.5 billion, US-based Goodyear announced 23 September that it will cut 420 jobs from its Wolverhampton plant in West Midlands effective 23 December. 
 
The announcement means that a plant once producing 30,000 car, truck and tractor tyres annually with 3,000 workers will be reduced to making only some farm tyres as well as compounding stock and calendaring with fewer than 500 workers. Last week's announcement will pare a current workforce of 900 to about half that two days before Christmas. 
 
&quot;It's sad. They've just cut it, cut it, and cut it some more,&quot; said AMICUS regional official Bill Holmes, a member of the ICEM's Goodyear Global Union Network Steering Committee. &quot;It's what they've said they were going to do all along, move production to lower cost plants.&quot; 
 
AMICUS represents engineering staff and area managers at the Wolverhampton plant, while T&amp;G represents tyre production workers. Each union will lose roughly half of the 420 jobs that are going. Production of radial tyres for cars and light trucks likely will be shifted to Goodyear plants in Eastern Europe. 
 
T&amp;G Wolverhampton Union Convenor Cyril Barrett was outraged that UK's Department of Trade and Industry and local development agencies haven't done more to protect jobs. &quot;Since 1997, around 2,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost,&quot; he said. &quot;The slow bleeding of jobs and skills has drained the lifeblood out of the Goodyear facility.&quot; 
 
Barrett stated in the Birmingham Evening Mail: &quot;The most frustrating thing is that the Department of Trade and Industry was asked by my national officers to get involved in (job retention this past) June. My members are now aware that Advantage West Midlands gave a 1.9-million-pound grant to Goodyear Dunlop to (shift jobs). My question is if they can give (such) a grant, why have they not engaged in discussions regarding Goodyear Wolverhampton?&quot; 
 
Although Goodyear intends to retain a retread plant on site, Holmes wonders what the future holds for a plant that produces compound mixing and calendaring without full-scale tyre production. He's working on options to secure stability to the jobs remaining at Wolverhampton. 
 
The plant downsizing comes at a time when financially-troubled Goodyear states that operating income from Europe has improved and that its non-US operations have been a bright spot on its financial ledger. A day after Goodyear made the Wolverhampton announcement, the firm said it would invest US$30 million in two existing plants in India.

Goodyear&#039;s UK Job Losses Mount

T he following was issued by the ICEM Global Network of Rio Tinto Workers at its conference in Salt Lake City, Utah: 
 
Sixty delegates to the ICEM's Global Union Network of Rio Tinto Workers reiterated its call to the giant mining and energy company to enact an enforceable Global Framework Agreement with the ICEM and its affiliates. Meeting 23-24 September in the US city of Salt Lake City, Utah, delegates from 16 trade unions also condemned the company's actions at nearby Kennecott Copper that saw Rio Tinto sack 120 United Steelworkers of America (USWA) members and other trade unionists following an eight-month contract dispute. 
 
The conference was the fourth for the Rio Tinto Network, and it produced a statement of Solidarity as well as a letter of protest to Rio Tinto Chief Executive Leigh Clifford over the retaliatory layoffs of USWA members and local union officers two days after a USWA local and other unions ratified a contract this past June. 
 
The Solidarity statement pledged the Network to unite in efforts to achieve a workable Global Agreement with the company to ensure human and labour rights are upheld wherever Rio Tinto has operations. The statement also called attention to the firm's illegal and immoral actions in Zimbabwe where workers were sacked for exercising their basic labour rights. 
 
The conference also saw a torch passing as ICEM President John Maitland, CFMEU of Australia, stepped down as chairman of the Network and Terry Bonds, USWA District 12 director, representing USWA members in southwestern US states, was elected. Bonds called the two-day meeting successful and said the Solidarity statement &quot;will send a strong message to Rio Tinto's executives that the Labor Organizations of the Network will be relentless in our pursuit of justice and dignity for workers wherever Rio Tinto operates. 
 
&quot;Until basic human rights, labor rights and environmental and community issues are addressed in an honorable and meaningful fashion, we will continue to confront Rio Tinto and show up wherever they go,&quot; added Bonds. 
 
Delegates attending this biennial meeting of the Network represent or are Rio Tinto workers from eight countries, including: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, South Africa, Sweden, US and Zimbabwe.
