Last year trade union of workers was established in Lithuanian
supermarket chain Palink-IKI, which is dominantly owned by German
REWE-Beteiligungs-Holding International GmbH, as well as Swiss,
Belgian, Italian, French and some offshore capital.
Since the start of
the union the company constantly makes attempts to destroy the trade
union using the most powerful tool - pushing union leaders out of
work.
3 trade union board members were under attack during the first
year of union existence. Galina Proskurina - member of the board was
kicked out of the work using security force the next day the union was
created (just like that!). The next step was a court cases against
the other member of the trade union board Oksana Michalevic. The woman
faces personal pressure campaign and she is likely to be fired very
soon. The Palink company is also targeting the third key person of
trade union board - Irina Judina. |
