On Friday 2 September Daniel Urai, President of the Fiji Trade Union Congress and General Secretary of the National Union of Hospitality, Catering and Tourism Industries Employees, and union organiser Nitin Gounder, are scheduled to appear in the Nadi Magistrates Court in Fiji charged with unlawful assembly. Both men are charged for having met with union members. Commodore Frank Bainimarama’s military regime in Fiji has instituted a climate of fear for Fijian workers via anti union laws and outright violence against unionists. Fiji unions have specifically requested solidarity from workers in Australia.
Workers need to stand united with their brothers and sisters in Fiji. It is only through our own resistance and solidarity that we will be able to defeat this attempt to destroy our organisations. On Friday 2 September stand with the workers of Fiji.
