Tata Continues Collective Punishment of Indian Tea Workers
Tuesday 19 January 2010, 11am
Nearly one thousand tea workers and their families continue to suffer collective punishment at the hands of India's Tata Group. Workers at the Nowera Nuddy Tea Estate in West Bengal, India went without pay, food and rations from September 14 until December 12 last year following a protest in August over the mistreatment a 22 year-old tea garden worker who was denied maternity leave and forced to continue work as a tea plucker despite being 8 months pregnant. The estate has been reopened - but workers have received no wages or rations for the lockout period.. Their struggle continues, and needs your support::
