Tell Tata/Tetley to Stop Starving Indian Tea Workers!

Management of the plantation, in which Tata holds the largest ownership share and exercises control, is pushing the entire plantation population into starvation in retaliation for a worker protest in August against the punishing treatment of an 8-months' pregnant worker who was denied maternity leave, forced to pluck tea, and then denied adequate medical treatment. Workers want the estate reopened and their wages paid, but reject the suspension of 8 workers who have been singled out for protesting vile abuses. They refuse to renounce their right to peacefully protest abusive exploitation - and they need your support. Use the message below to the CEOs of Tata and Teley to tell them to stop starving tea workers now and meet the demands of the Nowera Nuddy Estate (Tata Tea) Workers’ Action Committee.
