Respect trade union rights at Vitasoy Hong Kong

Vitasoy, a Hong Kong-based transnational company with manufacturing operations in Hong Kong, Shenzen, Shangahi, Singapore, Ayer (Massachusetts, USA) and Wodonga (Victoria, Australia), promotes its premium soy-based food and beverage brands under the slogan "where healthy life begins" - yet healthy living doesn't seem to apply to respecting the rights of those who make the award-winning products. For 11 months Hong Kong management has refused to respond to repeated requests by the union to recognition and wage bargaining. And it is now stepping up its aggressive reaction to calls to respect basic workplace rights.

Act now! - send a message to Vitasoy demanding that the company respect worker and trade union rights. Click here to send a message and read more here
