MANILA – Various progressive groups are calling for the boycott of Pepmaco products, following the violent dispersal of their striking workers early today, June 28.
“No amount of chemicals or goons can ever curtail the striking workers’ fight for their rights,” said state workers union Courage in a statement.
Boycotting Pepmaco products, said Kabataan Rep. Sarah Elago, is one way of throwing support to striking workers.
Anakpawis Partylist said that Pepmaco is behind brands such as Hana shampoo, Champion and Calla detergents.
Casilao said Pepmaco workers are only “demanding their due rights and living wage levels,” adding that big businesses want to preserve the slave-like conditions of the Filipino workers.” He said, “an all-united national workers’ movement, supported by other sectors, will defeat this agenda. We urge the people to support Pepmaco workers.” (https://www.bulatlat.com)

Mga kababayan,
Marahas na binuwag ang piketlayn ng mga manggagawa ng Pepmaco ng mga security at goons ng kapitalistang si Simeon Tiu. Marami ang matinding nasugatan at sinugod sa ospital.
Hunyo 24 nang ilunsad ng Pepmaco Workers Union – Naflu – KMU ang welga dahil sa malawakang kontraktwalisasyon, masahol na kalagayan sa paggawa, pagmamalupit sa mga manggagawa, malawakang tanggalan, union busting atbp. Limpak limpak na yaman mula sa pawis ng manggagawa ang kinamal ni Tiu pero sa halip na dinggin ang kanilang hinaing ay dahas ang tinugon ng ganid na kapitalista.
Kailangan ng manggagawa ang ating pakikiisa. Suportahan ang kanilang laban sa pamamagitan ng pag-boycott sa mga produkto ng Pepmaco tulad ng Champion, Hana, Systema at Calla.
Maraming Salamat po!
