The International Union of Foodworkers, IUF, reports that increased workload at Nestlé Waters in Domodedovo near Moscow has led to increased accident rates for delivery drivers. The Union at the plant continues to defend itself against attempts at union busting. Full article in links to the IUF "Nespressure"-Campaign can be found here:

Three Delivery Accidents in One Week at Nestlé Waters Russia - Nespressure, What Else?

An international campaign has been launched for the release of Valentin Urusov, a Russian miner framed up and imprisoned after recruiting workmates to a union.

Urusov, an employee of Alrosa, the diamond mining company, is serving six years’ hard labour for an obviously fabricated offence (possession of drugs).

Urusov was singled out for attention by the authorities after an industrial dispute in July last year at Alrosa’s mine in Udachny, in Yakutiya, eastern Siberia, where he works.
