Press Statement
Vienna, 20 June


The newly organized Philippine Solidarity and Friendship Group (PSFG) in Austria successfully held a picket in solidarity with the Nestle workers, Philippines. More than 30 activists joined the 2-hour picket infront the office of Nestle, Margarethengurtel/Emil-KralikG, last Thursday, 18 June 2009, 5-7pm. Please see

During the picket, a program was held and a statement distributed appealing for:

Nestle Management to return to the negotiating table and resume CBA negotiation with the Union, especially on the issue of retirement benefits, and
United Nations Commission on HR to send representative(s) to the Philippines and/or ask the Commission on Human Rights in the Philippines to conduct a thorough investigation of the human rights violations i.e., killing of Diosdado "Fort" Fortuna, and other related human rights issues.
The statement circulated during the picket noted that Nestle Philippines since 1991 continuously refusing to bargain with Union of Filipro Employess/Drug, Food & Allied Workers Federation/ Kilusang Mayo Uno (UFE/DFA/KMU) on Retirement Plan issue alleging that this is their own (Nestle) prerogatives. However in its decisions, the NLRC (1991),the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court (August 2006) consistently and firmly resolved and now (March 2008) with finality ordering Nestle to negotiate with the Union on the said issue.

The statement said that the workers and their union launched on January 14, 2002 an arduous strike that has lasted up to the present because the Nestle Management continues to disregard the above rulings and directives and relevant international agreements. (Petition-Appeal for Justice "Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits" Exodus 23:6 )

Furthermore, Nestlé uses all state instruments such as the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE), the MTC-Cabuyao (Municipal Trial Court) and RTC-Binan (Regional Trial Court), the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), and the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP), with the blessings of a Philippine president who continuously clings to power .... This repression has directly and indirectly resulted in 23 strike-related deaths, including union leader Diosdado Ka Fort Fortuna, who was assassinated on his way home from a picket line on September 22, 2005. To date, not a single perpetrator has been apprehended for these murders. (Nestlé abusing workers rights in the Philippines - and ignoring Supreme Court rulings, February 2009).

The Solidarity Group is further advancing its campaign thru petition appeal for justice for the struggling 600 Nestle workers in Cabuyao, Laguna, Philippines. The appeal can be signed in http://pinas-first.com/phpPETITION/index.php ###
