Workers at Young Fast Optoelectronics (YFO) in Taiwan need support for their struggle to defend their union and basic labour rights against the company's union-busting.
YFO is one of the major manufacturers for touch panel screens in the world; its buyers include: Samsung, LG, HTC and Google. Although making tremendous profits, the working conditions in YFO's Taoyuan Plant are worse than most people expected. The unacceptable conditions include child labour, excessive and forced overtime working, deduction of overtime wages, and poor health and safety conditions.
YFO has been sabotaging the union YFOTU since its establishment in December 2009. It dismissed five union officers and more than ten active union members in March 2010, under the pretense that their production line will be moved to China. Trade unionists in Taiwan believe that this is a deliberate union-busting action and gross violation of the Labor Union Law.
Please take a minute to sign the LabourStart online email action, to demand the company start to talk to the union:

Thanks for this, I totally support the union on this. Incidentally, I started boycotting Samsung products after finding that some of the parts were produced in a sweatshop by agency workers - in the UK!http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2004/jan/16/k...
