Support Polish workers wildcat strike against Tescos in Ireland. Tescos is the largest super-market chain in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Solidarity pickets this Thursday August 4th, 6pm at Tesco's all over
Ireland and at Hackney Central, London and in other cities around UK.

Two Polish workers in Dublin who literally refused to break their backs
for the boss in Tesco distribution have been fired.

Their main grievance is that they are continually being asked to meet
higher productivity levels. The levels currently being demanded by
management present a danger to the health of the workers. The start of these demands on the workforce came soon after the entry of Poland into the EU and more Polish workers were hired by Tesco through temping agencies. Tesco is taking unfair advantage of workers coming from Poland who are unaware of their rights as employees and who are at first grateful to get a job which pays more than they would get at home.

As the workers are temporary, they can be sacked if they fail to meet
these ever-increasing targets. Due to the new targets being unsustainable, there has been much dissatisfaction among the workforce. Two Polish workers who were vocally expressing this dissent found themselves fired for their efforts. Along with the demand that productivity targets be reduced to a manageable level, the workers are demanding that the two employees who were laid off have their jobs reinstated and that agency temps who work for longer than 3 months should get a permanent contract from Tesco with all the associated benefits.

Polish workers all over Ireland are going on strike. There have also been solidarity actions in Poland, where Networks of punks, squatters and anarchists organised around the Rozbrat squat have picketed two Tescos in two Polish cities.

Solidarity pickets have been called on every Tesco's in Ireland this
Thursday.

In the UK people are also planning to show solidarity. Pickets have been called for called for Thurs 4th August in Liverpool, Oxford andoutside Tesco's near Hackney Central in London at 6pm
