Escribe hoy a las empresas europeas clientes de DESA y a la dirección de la fábrica DESA. Pídeles que pongan en práctica el acuerdo y que adopten todas las medidas necesarias para garantizar un clima exento de intimidación en la fábrica.
Letter to buyers
Dear Madam / Sir,
I’am extremely disappointed to learn that the Memorandum of Understanding, which was signed between Desa and Deri Is in 2009, has not been properly implemented by DESA management. I am particuarly concerned at the harassment of union members and the recent dismissals of two of your workers without following proper procedure.
I urgently call upon you to take immediate and transparent action to ensure that the protocol is fully implemented. Specifically I call on you to:
• Contact DESA management and ask them to immediately halt the harassment of union members, and to abide by the letter and spirit of the August protocol;
• Demand the reinstatement of both Ferda Yilmaz and Emel Yavuz as agreed in the August negotiations;
• Ensure that an official Right to Organise guarantee is distributed, based on the model drafted by the ITGLWF;
• Support and monitor an official complaints mechanism. Such a mechanism must include a worker representative nominated by the union;
• Ask DESA to ensure regular meetings take place with Deri Is representatives and to send notes from each meeting to all interested parties including Deri Is and the major buyers;
• Include trade union representatives in any ongoing monitoring and maintain regular contact with them;
• Specify that you expect orders for your company to be completed at the Duzce factory and not subcontracted to other suppliers in Turkey
• Carry out training for management, supervisors and workers on the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining. Such training should be carried out by parties agreed upon by Deri Is and ITGLWF.
Sincerely,
Letter to DESA
Dear Mr. Celet,
I’am extremely concerned about the breaching of the Memorandum of Understanding which was signed between your company and Deri Is. I am particuarly concerned at the harassment of union members and the recent dismissals of two of your workers without following proper procedure.
While initally shocked by the working conditions and workers rights abuses found in your factory I was hopeful that DESA was now moving towards being a factory where workers fundemental rights were respected.
I urgently call upon you to fully respect the protocol signed with Deri Is.
Specifically I call on you to:
• immediately halt the harassment of union members and to abide by the letter and spirit of the August protocol;
• reinstate both Ferda Yilmaz and Emel Yavuz as agreed in the August negotiations;
• Ensure that an official Right to Organise guarantee is distributed, based on the model drafted by the ITGLWF;
• establish an official complaints mechanism, including a buyers representative, which can receive and investigate complaints of harassment or intimidation and support re-mediation in each case. Such a mechanism must include a worker representative nominated by the union;
• ensure that regular meetings take place with Deri Is representatives and send notes from each meeting to all interested parties including Deri Is and the major buyers;
• Include trade union representatives in any ongoing monitoring and maintain regular contact with them;
• Carry out training for management, supervisors and workers on the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining. Such training should be carried out by parties agreed upon by Deri Is and ITGLWF.
I look forward to hearing that DESA is once again working towards a more positive relationship with the Deri Is union.
Sincerely,
