An appeal for help from workers in Ukraine

ALL over the world, working people are suffering due to the global pandemic and economic crisis. Many have lost their jobs. Many businesses are failing.
But not all these problems are being caused by Covid.
We've received an appeal for help from workers in Ukraine who have not received their wages for more than three YEARS.
And the business that employs them - KVARSYT - is state-owned.
According to Ukraine's constitution, every worker must be paid for their work.
The decision of the management to not pay these workers is also in breach of ILO Convention 95, entitled 'Protection of Wages'TRADE (1949), which was ratified in 1961 by the Ukrainian government.
Please take a moment to protest to the Ukrainian government - and to show your solidarity with these workers.
And please spread the word to your friends, family and fellow union members.
Thank you.
