International trade union support at home and abroad continues to build for the struggle for workers at warehouses in West Bengal, India contracted to PepsiCo who were sacked after forming a union in 2013.

IUF-affiliated unions and their supporters recently demonstrated in India, Pakistan, Togo, Poland, Australia, Korea, Ukraine, Russia, the UK, Dominican Republic and Benin to show their commitment to the "STOP PepsiSqueeze! [1]" international union campaign in support of PepsiCo warehouse workers in India.

The IUF Asia Pacific and Africa Regional Committees, IUF Trans-Tasman Food Workers, IUF affiliates organized in Unilever, IUF European Region Tourism Sector, IUF Global Meat Conference, IUF Latin America Executive Committee and IUF members participating in a global PepsiCo workers meeting have pledged to continue their support for the Indian workers.

Their message to PepsiCo is a simple one: engage in serious and good faith discussions with the IUF to reinstate these workers with full back pay and guarantees that they can exercise their right to form or join a union without fear of reprisal!
