ICEM&rsquo;s ongoing Turkey Organising and Social Dialogue Project, through the support of the Dutch national labour centre FNV, organised its seventh regional workshop in Bursa on 15-16 September 2010. 
 
Located in northwestern Turkey, Bursa is the country&rsquo;s fourth largest city with a population of 1.86 million. The city is an industrial and culturally charged one, once serving as one of the ex-capitals of the Ottoman Empire. Bursa is also referred to as Turkey&rsquo;s &ldquo;Detroit&rdquo; because it is the centre of Turkish auto and auto-component industries. 
 
Auto factories such as FIAT and Renault are located near Bursa, as are auto-supply factories operated by Bosch, Mako, and Contitech. In addition, textile and food industries are equally strong in the city. Traditionally, Bursa used to be famous for being the largest center of silk trade in the Byzantine and later the Ottoman empires, during the period of the lucrative Silk Road. The city is still a major center for Turkish textiles. 
<img src="" width="370" height="116" alt="" />
A number of national and multinational companies within ICEM&rsquo;s sectors have operations in Bursa. Recently, a labour conflict at French-based auto-plastics supplier Faurecia was provoked when the company sacked shop-floor leaders belonging to ICEM affiliate Petrol-İş. ICEM intervention and vigorous Petrol-İş manifestations won the jobs back. 
 
Trade unions are seeking to organise factories using new and modern tools, and the ICEM&rsquo;s Dutch project aims to provide those tools. 
 
The Bursa seminar was attended by around 70 trade union leaders, shop stewards, and militants from ICEM-affiliated unions, as well as leaders of other unions in the metals and textiles sectors. The meeting also welcomed national level union officials, namely Mustafa &Ouml;ztaşkın, President of Petrol- İş, and Alaaddin Sari, Vice-President of Lastik-İş. 
 
The Bursa seminar also hosted several international trade union leaders, including ICEM General Secretary Manfred Warda, FNV Bondgenoten Trade Union Officer Celil &Ccedil;oban, Spanish FITEQA-CC.OO International Secretary Isidor Boix, and Phee Jungsun and Kemal &Ouml;zkan from the ICEM staff. All guests exchanged their knowledge and experiences with participants. 
<img src="" width="257" height="154" alt="" />
Warda gave a detailed presentation about ICEM&rsquo;s structure, policies, and agenda on the first day, and also explained the global union movement&rsquo;s position and activities on job losses brought on by the global economic crisis. He also spoke on ILO Convention 176, the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, and the necessity for Turkey to ratify this Convention. He discussed ICEM strategies regarding social dialogue, Global Framework Agreements, workers&rsquo; networks, sustainable employment, and the cooperation and integration process with other GUFs. 
 
In addition, Warda briefed the participants on labour relations, trade union structures, and social dialogue in his home country of Germany during the second day of the workshop. 
 
ICEM&rsquo;s &Ouml;zkan gave a perspective on the various parameters of globalisation, the changing structure of industrial production, global union structures and challenges, Contract and Agency Labour, and various international institutions such as ILO, OECD, Global Compact, and EU instruments. ICEM&rsquo;s Phee Jungsun shared his experiences in ICEM&rsquo;s Asia-Pacific Region on organising within multinational companies, social dialogue, and labour practices in Asian countries. 
 
Participants heard a presentation by Turkish trade union expert &Uuml;zeyir Ataman, Director of Education and Collective Bargaining of Lastik-İş, on union history and the current labour relations situation in Turkey. Later, the seminar focused on Power and Weak Points, Challenges and Opportunities, and Concrete Organising Targets inside Turkey, with contributions and inputs by participants from the different towns around Bursa. 
 
&ldquo;The Bursa seminar was very well attended,&rdquo; said &Ouml;zkan. &ldquo;Participants expressed hunger for these workshops, allowing them to better know international trade union instruments at hand. 
 
&ldquo;I once again realise how important this project is in Turkey,&rdquo; added &Ouml;zkan, the coordinator of the two-year project. 
 
The project will continue with an upcoming special youth organising seminar, scheduled for 21-22 October 2010 in Kusadasi in the Eagean region. The project&rsquo;s two-year run will end with a final conference at the end of November in Ankara.

ICEM’s Dutch FNV Project Conducts Workshop in Turkey

ICEM&rsquo;s Danish affiliated union 3F conducted its second Congress, 11-17 September, in the Aalborg Culture and Congress Centre. There were 855 delegates to the Congress, including ICEM General Secretary Manfred Warda, who attended as an international guest. 
 
3F is the largest trade union in Denmark, with 352,588 members from the following sectors: Transport, Building &amp; Construction, Manufacturing industries, Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture/Market Gardens, Cleaning, Hotel &amp; Restaurants, Delivery and distribution of newspapers and magazines. 
<img src="" width="133" height="112" alt="" />
3F President Poul Erik Christensen
The 3F Congress sets policy and elects the union&rsquo;s leadership and Executive Committee members. The six sections of 3F held separate conferences to discuss internal affairs of the section and to elect representatives to be put forward for election to the Federation&rsquo;s Executive Committee. Also elected in the section conferences are the section leaders, and negotiation secretaries. Those six sections are: Industry, Public-Sector, Transport, Construction, Private-Sector Services, and Green. 
 
Among those re-elected at the Congress were President Christensen, and Per Soerensen 3F&rsquo;s delegate to the ICEM Executive Committee. 
 
3F President Poul Erik Christensen proposed the at the union makes large financial backing to enact a change in government of Denmark, his proposal was accepted by Congress. Christensen will spend US$1million, &ldquo;The question is not whether we can afford to support this, but whether we can afford not to,&rdquo; stated President Christensen. 
 
ICEM General Secretary Manfred Warda addressed an event at the Congress for international guests. Warda praised 3F for its international solidarity work.

Denmark’s 3F Conduct 2nd Congress

The ICEM offers continued solidarity to glass workers of Tyneside Safety Glass, members of UK affiliate Unite the Union, as they begin today, 4 October, a second week-long industrial action against an intransigent employer. Some 72 Unite members at two glass factories of the privately-held, family-owned Tyneside Glass/Suntex Glass Industries company in North-East England have been without pay increases for two years, and are now being asked to work longer hours. 
 
The company has refused to negotiate, with the last bargaining occurring in June. Workers subsequently voted for industrial action in a strike ballot and went on the first seven-day work stoppage on 20 September. On 25 September, they met to consider further action, and buoyed by a number of union support letters, voted to issue the mandatory seven-day notice for ongoing action. 
 
That leaves the possibility for further action throughout the autumn. The ICEM rallied to the support of Tyneside glass workers during the first walk-out, and that letter can be found here. As well, other support to glass workers in Gateshead, near Newcastle, came including hearty support from the Glass Section of the United Steelworkers (USW) union in the US through its Chairman, Tim Tuttle. 
<img alt="" src="" width="130" height="150" />
Unite North East Regional Officer, Bill Green
Unite and the USW originated Workers Uniting, a trans-Atlantic workers&rsquo; cooperative that is a registered trade union in four countries. 
 
Tyneside Safety Glass pays just barely over the British minimum wage and used the financial crisis to deny wage increases over the past two years. Now, with salaries even closer to the minimum, the company seeks to preserve a freeze, yet also wants to change shift patterns that would see staff working another ten hours per week. 
 
As stated in the ICEM letter, this would compromise safety on the job, particularly because the company has already made workers redundant and closed a third factory at Gateshead. &ldquo;The ICEM is deeply concerned that longer work hours will result in unsafe work conditions at the glass factories of Tyneside in the North-East,&rdquo; said General Secretary Manfred Warda, adding that management of late has noted a pick up in orders so restoration of lost wages could be made. 
 
&ldquo;We have experienced bullying and harassment by management, but no willingness to continue bargaining,&rdquo; stated Unite Region Officer Bill Green, adding that Unite members gathering at the 25 September meeting were fortified by global trade union support for a relatively small labour dispute. 
 
Tyneside Safety Glass and Suntex Glass Industries is a specialty glass producer that toughens and laminates glass windshields. It buys sheet glass from nearly Pilkington factories, owned by the Japanese company Asashi, and treats the glass for use in earth-moving and heavy equipment. Caterpillar, JCB, and other heavy-industry equipment makers comprise the company&rsquo;s customer list.

UK Glass Workers Begin Second Week of Industrial Actions

<img alt="" src="" width="100" height="39" />
In an attempt to oust a legitimate trade union at tyre multinational Continental, the Mexican government of Felipe Calder&oacute;n again sided with a corporate employer to support a company-supported union that does not have workers&rsquo; support. Workers at the Llantera Potosinafactory of Continental, in San Luis Potos&iacute;, Central Mexico, are members of the National Union of Tyre Workers of Mexico (SNTGTM). 
 
The ICEM is proud that SNTGTM has applied for ICEM affiliation and a positive recommendation will likely come at the Presidium meeting in Istanbul, 26 October. 
 
The SNTGTM refused to accept the yellow union, forcing an arbitration meeting with the Labour Ministry in August. The Labour authority, in an attempt to destabilise the SNTGTM effort, called the meeting with only one day&rsquo;s notice. Employees of the Continental plant voted at the meeting 640 to 1 in favour of the SNTGTM. 
 
We salute this victory of democratic trade unionism in Mexico, against a fierce anti-union effort by federal and state governments. 
<img alt="" src="" width="199" height="182" />
Alberto Espinosa Rocha, Secretary-General SNTGTM
Collective agreements with yellow unions, known as Protection Contracts, are prevalent in San Luis Potos&iacute; and throughout Mexico. 
 
This victory enabled the San Luis Potos&iacute; plant workers to use their legitimate bargaining power with management to bring back 200 workers who were made redundant due to the global recession. As production at the plant has seen significant growth in recent months, local Continental managers sought to make workers fulfil six days&rsquo; work in five days, and to fill new posts with outsourced contract workers. 
 
The SNTGTM resisted these efforts, forcing management to follow stipulations in the collective agreement. Job positions were offered to those ex-employees who held them previously. Many of the returning workers were, and still are, SNTGTM members. The financial crisis was used by management as an opportunity to sack trade union activists. 
 
The struggle to reinstate those workers has seen 135 returned to their jobs last month, and a further 87 will return early next year. The San Luis Potos&iacute; local of SNTGTM, led by General Secretary Jos&eacute; Alberto Espinosa Rocha, has received solidarity and support from a number of national unions across several sectors.

Mexico’s National Tyre Workers Rebuff Government’s Yellow Union

<img alt="" src="" width="100" height="39" />
A 30-day strike by 6,000 rubber workers of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) at six tyre plants ended on 29 September when the union accepted the three-year wage and other terms put forward on behalf of three of four global rubber companies by the New Tyre Manufacturing Employers&rsquo; Industry Association (NTMEIA). 
 
But NUMSA and one of the tyre manufacturers operating in South Africa, Bridgestone/Firestone, remain at odds over a current agreement. The union suspended the strike last week at two Firestone plants that employ 2,500 of those 6,000 rubber workers, and an internal meeting among NUMSA national, regional, and shop-floor leaders at the two Firestone plants &ndash; Brits near Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth &ndash; will be held in mid-October to shape a strategy over this unresolved bargain. 
 
Bridgestone/Firestone, through the NTMEIA, is offering two percent less each year in wages than the other three companies, Continental, Goodyear, and Apollo-Dunlop. 
<img alt="" src="" width="130" height="78" />
With those companies, NUMSA secured fair wage gains over the three years, as well as higher gains for workers who had been stuck in low-end pay grades of many job classifications. NUMSA also won important new language on the use of labour brokers. 
 
A first-year increase, backdated to 1 July, was set at 9%. The second- and third-year increases will each be 7.5% or South Africa&rsquo;s consumer price index in 2011 and 2012, whichever is higher. In comparison, Bridgestone has on the table increases of 7%, 5%, and 5%. 
 
Commencing in July 2011, for those workers with three or more years of service, the difference between the minimum and maximum pay grades in several job categories, about 10% now, will be bridged over a three-year time frame beginning. Thus, roughly half of all rubber workers in South Africa&rsquo;s six factories will see well over the 7.5% increases both in 2011 and 2012. 
 
Regarding labour brokers, NUMSA and the NTMEIA agreed to continue a policy of non-usage of brokers and adopted a policy to begin phasing out all labour brokers. The two parties agreed to a joint monitoring committee on the issue, and that work will begin early in 2011. Goodyear and Continental factories do not rely on labour brokers, but the Firestone and Apollo-Dunlop plants do. 
 
NUMSA has hardened its policy against labour brokers and has won company-paid social benefits and medical aid for contract workers. Along with many South African unions, NUMSA was seeking a total ban on labour-hire firms, with an alternative plan to give contract workers full-time and permanent jobs.

South African Tyre Strike Ends; NUMSA Still in Conflict with Bridgestone

Hundreds of thousands of trade unionists voiced their anger across Europe last week and the week before against the growing number of austerity measures being proposed by governments. Demonstrations occurred in 11 European cities on 29 September. 
 
A general strike by 70% of all workers occurred across Spain also on that day that saw 10 million people participate, and 80,000 protesting trade unionists from 24 countries converged in Brussels on 29 September. The actions were advanced by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), which fears workers will for years pay the price of reckless speculators who caused the financial morass. 
 
Instead of budget cuts affecting social and employment programmes at a time of already high joblessness, the ETUC is calling for jobs and economic growth as the catapult to recovery. Participating trade unions fear that workers will be the biggest victims of austerity measures, brought about by an economic crisis that was set off by bankers and traders, many of whom received big government bailouts. 
<img alt="" src="" width="180" height="135" />&nbsp;<img alt="" src="" width="180" height="152" />
Part of the German IGBCE Delegation
&ldquo;This is a crucial day for Europe because our governments, virtually all of them, are about to embark on solid cuts in public expenditures,&rdquo; said ETUC Secretary-General John Monks in Brussels last Wednesday. 
 
&ldquo;They&rsquo;re doing this at a time where the economy is very close to recession, and almost certainly you&rsquo;ll see the economy go back into recession as the effects of these cuts take place.&rdquo; 
 
The Brussels protest, coincidentally, came on the day the EU Commission proposed levying large fines on governments that fail to reduce public spending. That proposal comes when several Member-States began flinching at making social cuts in the face of mass street protests. The commission wants to fine countries that surpass the EU&rsquo;s debt ceiling of 60% of GDP. 
 
Brussels police barricaded banks and the headquarters of the EU as streams of unionists marched by, mostly without incident. Among those marching were 400 Romanian police officers, marching under the banner of their union. Five days earlier, they had surprised many by joining a mass civil society march in Bucharest, where demonstrators protested 25% wage cuts on all public-sector workers. 
<img alt="" src="" width="294" height="185" />
Romanian Police Union in Brussels
The 6,000 participating police turned the Bucharest manifestation on the Interior Ministry, causing Interior Minister Vasile Blaga to resign. 
 
Also protesting in Brussels were scores of German and Polish coalminers, who specifically called on the EU to delay its plan to make coal-producing Member-States cut their coal subsidies to power plants. Across Europe over the past two weeks, workers have taken to the streets to protest wage cuts, budget slashing, unjust tax increases, and pension-cutting austerity measures by governments seeking to control debt. 
 
Manifestations were held in Ireland, Latvia, Poland, Serbia, and Greece, where doctors in hospitals staged a 24-hour strike. In Slovenia, 29 September was the third day of a general strike by roughly half of the country&rsquo;s public-sector workers. In the Czech Republic on 21 September, 40,000 trade unionists protested a proposed 10% wage cut for all public workers, as well as planned sackings of workers, abolishment of wage guarantees for longtime workers, and introduction of performance-based pay. 
<img alt="" src="" width="256" height="178" />
Perhaps the biggest European protests last week occurred in Spain with the general strike. With unemployment at a European high mark of 20%, the Spanish government of Socialist Prime Minister J&oacute;se Zapatero last May introduced a &euro;15 billion austerity package that includes a 5% reduction in civil service pay, cuts in pensions, increase to the retirement age, and cuts to government funding. 
 
Led by the national labour centres CC.OO and UGT, Spanish trade unionists answered by staging the country&rsquo;s first general strike since 2002, causing a halt to transportation, daily newspapers not to publish, and television to go off the air. The 29 September strike came one day before Zapatero presented his 2011 budget to parliament. 
<img alt="" src="" width="370" height="182" />
From European Metalworkers' Federation
Commenting in a UK newspaper on the EU Commission&rsquo;s tough reprisal to fine governments who do not adhere to austerity measures, former Danish Prime Minister and European Socialists Leader Poul Nyrup Rasmussen said, &ldquo;Governments are not always right. If governments were always right, we would not have the situation that we have today.&rdquo; Rasmussen accused the commission of lacking &ldquo;an understanding of how ordinary people are suffering.&rdquo;

European Unions Ardently Protest Government Austerity Cuts

<img src="" width="100" height="39" alt="" />
Global trade union federations, grouped in the Council of Global Unions, together with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD (TUAC) will call on the governments of the G20 to prioritise jobs when setting policy to recover from the global recession. 
 
G20 leaders will meet on 11-12 November 2010 in Seoul, South Korea. The statement is being presented to G20 governments by affiliates of the ICEM and other Global Union Federations prior to the Seoul Summit, urging them to deal with the employment crisis. Focussing on job creation will enable reduction of public deficits through economic growth, instead of cuts. 
<img src="" width="100" height="95" alt="" />&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="" width="79" height="100" alt="" />
Signatories to the statement express concern that the employment crisis is not even on the agenda for the Seoul Summit. &lsquo;G20 leaders meeting in Pittsburgh in September 2009 committed to putting &ldquo;quality employment at the heart of the recovery.&rdquo; They have not lived up to this promise,&rsquo; reads the statement. 
 
Over 31 million more people are unemployed since 2007, increasing unemployment jeopardises the process of economic recovery which is already fragile. Continuation of austerity measures will lead to &ldquo;a decade of stagnant labour markets in industrialized countries, the entrenchment of poverty in developing countries and a lost generation of youth shut out from productive activity.&rdquo; 
 
Among other demands, global unions want a formation of a standing G20 Working Group on Employment, with social partner participation. Other central demands include environmental policies that enable job protection and job creation and a &lsquo;Just Transition&rsquo;, and the issue of decent work to be at the heart of the development agenda. 
 
See the statement in full <a href="/wp-content/migration/icem/g20%20Seoul.pdf">here</a>. 
 
Supplementing this action the International Metalworkers&rsquo; Federation has launched a campaign calling on the Korean government to honour its commitments on labour rights inside Korea. Korea is one of the worst countries in the world in terms of worker and trade union repression. See the campaign resources and information <a href="http://www.imfmetal.org/index.cfm?c=24267&amp;l=2">here</a>.&nbsp;

Global Unions to Present Unified Statement to Seoul G20 – Prioritise Jobs

<img alt="" src="" width="100" height="39" />
The Global Safety Partnership Committee was agreed to by Rhodia as part of its commitments to ICEM in the Rhodia-ICEM Global Framework Agreement. The committee is intended to monitor safety and related issues, provide ongoing dialogue regarding these issues between the company and its workers, and make recommendations for their improvement. With ICEM's help, Rhodia will strive to lead the industry in health, safety, and environmental performance. 
 
At the committee&rsquo;s first official meeting, held 7-8 October at a company Eco Services plant in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, representatives of Rhodia and representatives from ICEM's affiliates met to review and discuss some of Rhodia's policies, programs, and procedures. Among topics discussed were accident investigation procedures, and the choice of indicators of safety performance. In addition, panel members toured the Baton Rouge facility, one of the company's most important North American sites and one in which workers are represented by Teamsters Local 5. The Baton Rouge site, divided into two manufacturing centres, produces products ranging from artificial vanilla flavouring to sulphuric acid, as well as recycling and disposing of certain industrial wastes. 
<img alt="" src="" width="342" height="188" />
Rhodia management was represented by: Jacques Kheliff, Group Vice-President - Sustainable Development; Jean-Christophe Sciberras, Vice-President and Group Industrial Relations Director; Deborah Sherwen, Manager Health Safety and CAERS; James Harton, North America Zone President; John Heffernan, Rhodia North America Vice-President, Human Resources; and Marcus Lewis, Vice-President Industrial North America. Baton Rouge site managers also attended and hosted the Committee's visit and site tour. Yol&egrave;ne Coppin, Rhodia's Group Vice-President Human Resources, was unable to attend. 
 
The ICEM team was represented by Juarez Nogueira of Sindquim, Brazil; Scott Harrington of the US United Steelworkers (USW); Maurice Tritsch of CFDT, France; Kemal &Ouml;zkan, ICEM's Chemicals Officer, and Brian Kohler, ICEM's Officer for Health, Safety and Sustainability. Jie Dong, of China, was unable to attend. 
 
The committee also met with Teamsters Local 5 representatives Jason Day and Bryan Hare.

ICEM, Rhodia Global Safety Committee Holds Meetings at US Plant

<img alt="" src="" width="100" height="39" />
The ICEM and the International Transport Workers&rsquo; Federation (ITF) jointly stated on 15 October that they reject the recommendation by the European Commission (EC) to establish a central set of pan-European safety standards for the offshore oil and gas industries. 
 
The two Global Union Federations (GUFs) were responding to EC Energy Commissioner G&uuml;nther Oettinger&rsquo;s rolled back recommendation for a &ldquo;centralised and prescriptive&rdquo; set of safety standards on 13 October. The recommendation follows the European Parliament&rsquo;s rejection of a moratorium on deepwater drilling on 7 October by a 323-285 vote. 
 
The moratorium proposal was in response to BP&rsquo;s Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico. Both the ICEM and ITF, as well as the industry group Oil and Gas UK, believe that a uniform safety regime imposed by the EC would infringe on union-management best practices already in place in the North Sea. 
<img alt="" src="" width="157" height="132" />&nbsp;&nbsp; <img alt="" src="" width="125" height="144" />
Lars Mhyre and Norrie McVicar
Responding to the recommendation that member states should consider suspending offshore licensing in advance of possible new EU-wide safety standards, Norrie McVicar, Chair of the ITF&rsquo;s Offshore Task Force Group (OTFG), said: &ldquo;This is the wrong position to take and the wrong time to take it. The EC should be protecting the safety gains made in the UK offshore sector, not eroding them by dumbing them down to a lowest common denominator.&rdquo; 
 
Said Lars Myhre, ICEM Energy Sector Chair, &ldquo;You can never be too safe and we would never condone complacency, but the British and Norwegian sectors are generally good examples of best practice. They should be studied, learned from and, where necessary, improved. They shouldn&rsquo;t be remodeled into a one size fits all &ndash; but not very well &ndash; Euro model.&rdquo; 
 
McVicar added: &ldquo;One very positive feature of the UK industry is OSPRA, the Oil Spill Prevention and Response Advisory Group, which brings together regulators, industry bodies and trade unions such as Unite and the RMT in a joint effort to ensure that we get the oil and gas we need as safely and cleanly as possible. It&rsquo;s that kind of good practice that we&rsquo;d like to see adopted by the rest of the global oil and gas sector, not weakened here in Europe.&rdquo;

ICEM, ITF Reject EC’s Common Safety Prescription in Offshore Oil, Gas

IndustriEnergi (IE), ICEM&rsquo;s strong Norwegian energy and chemicals affiliate, awarded its first Arthur Svensson International Award for Trade Union Rights to Wellington Chibebe, the Secretary General of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU). The award came at the opening of IE&rsquo;s Congress in Oslo on 11 October. 
 
Chibebe won the award as one of the trade unionists leading the courageous struggle in Zimbabwe for workers&rsquo; rights. IE&rsquo;s Arthur Svensson Award is named after a longtime leader of Norsk Kjemisk Forbund, the Norwegian Chemical Workers&rsquo; Association, which merged in 2006 with NOPEF to form IE. 
<img src="" width="175" height="140" alt="" />
Wellington Chibebe, ZCTU General Secretary
Chibebe told African radio upon wining the award that Zimbabwe&rsquo;s unions must continue fighting for its rightful &ldquo;democratic space&rdquo; in Zimbabwe&rsquo;s economic society. The global significance to the award, said Chibebe, is that the world now knows that Zimbabwe has appeared before the ILO Standards Committee every year since 2002, &ldquo;culminating in the commission on enquiry which came to Zimbabwe last year and a report that moved the government to address the problems that have been facing unions.&rdquo; 
 
Chibebe and others in Zimbabwe have been effective global voices against the brutish trade union abuses that occur in the country. In May 2008, he and ZCTU President Lovemore Matombo were locked up and charged with an absurd &ldquo;communicating falsehoods&rdquo; complaint against the state. In September 2006, Chibebe was beaten in police custody after being one of some 200 trade unionists seeking satisfactory work rights. He began his trade union career in 1988 as an apprentice railway worker. He became president of the railway union and then joined ZCTU in 2001. 
 
In praise of Chibebe&rsquo;s award last week, the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) said in a statement that he has &ldquo;courage, passion, and firmness of principle. We believe the African trade union movement in particular and the global trade union movement in general has an asset in him and we are yet to see more of his outstanding contributions as we intensify our struggle for justice.&rdquo; 
 
The Arthur Svensson International Award for Trade Union Rights comes with a cash prize of NOK 500,000 (&euro;60,000).
