Union reps are there to speak out in defense of union members.
That seems obvious to us. But not to every employer.
For example, a company called Transiidikeskus AS has decided to sack Sergey Mastepan, a shop steward for the Estonian Seamen's Independent Union (ESIU), because he spoke out on a picket line and to media about conditions in the company.
Sergey needs our help today to get his job back. And to establish the principle that unions are there to defend working people.
Please take a moment to sign up to support the International Transport Workers Federation appeal here on LabourStart:

And please share this message with your family, friends and fellow union members.
And one more thing: the International Union of Foodworkers campaign focussing on PepsiCo's squeezing of human rights in India, needs our support. They're just 380 messages short of 10,000 -- can you help? Please go here:

Solidarity forever!
