At 11am on 16 July, over 200 protesting workers from the Light House Labour Union in Thailand will present a letter written in their own blood to the Thai parliament in protest at events at the Light House production plant, managed by a sub-contractor of the American luggage multinational, Samsonite Corporation...In June 2002, the company sacked all 20 elected union representatives at the plant, and when 849 workers stopped working to protest, all were immediately dismissed...Samsonite is principally owned by Francois Pinault, who also controls the company Pinault-Printemps-Redoute, which the ICFTU criticised in April this year for allowing a subsidiary to run active anti-trade union campaigns at its sites in Indiana, USA.
