Timor Chubb workers need our support

Date: 16 January 2004

LHMU members and supporters are backing East Timor security guards and cleaners, working at the World Bank offices in Dili, by taking a few seconds to send off a protest note to management in the USA and Australia.

This letter-writing campaign is part of a global initiative to send protest notes to Chubb Security in the USA and Australia and show that these workers in this newly created island state are not isolated.

Here's where you can read more about the sacking of East Timor security guards and cleaners .

A message from you is important

A message from you, especially to the Australian decision makers behind the unilateral decision to sack the East Timorese, will show that LHMU members are watching how Chubb operates - whether in Australia or East Timor.

The quickest and easiest way to send a protest

Fill out all your details at this Chubb workers East Timor strike protest form provided by the ACTU's aid agency Apheda.

Or you can use our draft letter but change it to use your own words and then send it as an e-mail, or by snail mail, or fax.

Key people who need protest e-mails

- Mr. George David, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, United Technologies Corporation: corpsec@corphq.utc.com

- Michael Mc Kinnon, General Manager, Chubb Security (Guards): mike.mckinnon@chubb.com.au

- Greg Watson, Chubb Guards and Patrols, Western Australia: greg.watson@chubb.com.au

If possible try to remember to send a copy of any message you have created to either the union in East Timor at: tltuc_serna@hotmail.com

Or the ACTU's international aid agency Apheda. who are co-ordinating support for this campaign and will pass your message on to East Timor. You can either fax it to Apheda on (02)9261 1118 or e-mail it : apheda@labor.net.au

Pass the hat around

A number of Chubb Security sites across Australia have indicated they want to pass the hat around and collect funds for the East Timorese workers struggling to get their Chubb jobs back.

The ACTU aid agency - Apheda. - has set up a special appeal fund to help these workers. If you want to help at your workplace contact your LHMU organiser or the local branch office who can arrange for tax deductible donations to be sent thru to Apheda.
