British Airways (BA) contracts out meals provision to US-owned sweatshop company, Gate Gourmet ... Gate Gourmet workers sacked whilst in mass meeting discussing company redundancy and casualisation plans … other workers coming into work sacked by megaphone announcement … spontaneous sympathy action by BA Heathrow workers puts BA under serious pressure … after resumption of work 3 British Airways Heathrow workers sacked … T&G prepares ballot for strike action at BA

Don't let Gate Gourmet and BA get away with this!

Organise Solidarity
• Fight against sweatshop managements
• Demand the right of unions to organise trade union solidarity
• Support the Gate Gourmet workers - financially, personally and politically.
• Support the BA Heathrow workers whose only crime was to support their victimised sisters and brothers as effectively as they could.
