SUMMARY:Meet Honduran trade union leader\, Tomas Membreño\, and !
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a house party\, held in the Rogers Park neighborhood\, in support of the people of Honduras. The event is co-sponsored by the International Labor Rights Forum\, Witness for Peace\, and CRLN \n  \nDate/time: Sunday\, April 8\, 2018  |  5:00 – 7:00 p.m. \n  \nRSVP:  Space is limited to 50 people and will fill up. RSVP early to gabby@ilrf.org to hold your spot and to receive the address for the event. \n  \nIn the immigration debate\, we don’t often hear about how U.S. policies play a major role in exacerbating the push factors of migration\, driving people from their homes to seek safety and security in the United States. In Honduras\, recent U.S. policies have legitimized a violent dictatorship and implemented trade deals that exploit cheap labor. But a people’s movement has been re-born. Hondurans young and old are risking their lives to fight for a future where they can feed their families\, have decent wages\, and fully participate in a democratic society\, without fear of reprisal. Come meet Honduran trade union leader\, Tomas Membreño\, and learn how people in the U.S. can hold the federal government and corporations accountable for their actions in Honduras. \n  \nFeaturing: \n\nTomas Membreño\, STAS (Honduran Agricultural Workers Union)\nCongresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D – IL)\nJudy Gearhart and Gabby Rosazza\, International Labor Rights Forum\nElise Roberts and John Walsh\, Witness for Peace\n\n  \nBackground on STAS: \n  \nEl Sindicato de Trabajadores/as de la Agroindustria y Similares\, or STAS\, is a trade union that organizes workers to fight for justice on plantations in Honduras that are exporting fruit to U.S and European markets. They represent over 800 workers in the banana\, melon\, sugar\, and palm oil sectors\, industries long plagued by poverty wages and exposure to toxic pesticides. Their efforts to seek dignity in the workplace have come at a high cost\, as Honduras is one of the most dangerous countries in the world to be a trade unionist. STAS members and union leaders have received death threats and been physically attacked for organizing workers. For the past five months\, 300 palm oil workers have been on strike protesting illegal firings and severe labor violations. STAS is looking for international support for their current campaigns to win collective bargaining agreements on Fyffes melon plantations and Grupo Jaremar palm oil plantations. \n  \nSpread the word on Facebook and forward this email to others that may be interested!  \n
