 Last week, thousands of workers on Firestone's rubber plantation in Liberia went on strike to protest the company's efforts to interfere with new union elections scheduled for late May.  On Friday, April 27, 2007, police forces were called in to quell the strikers.  The police chased workers, fired tear gas indiscriminately into crowded family settlements, arrested 13 workers and beat workers with batons, leaving six severely injured.  For more information, check out the Associated Press article here.  The workers are calling for international support to ensure that Firestone does not interfere with union elections or workers right to organize.  PLEASE SEND YOUR URGENT E-MAIL TODAY!
