Hundreds of Sri Lankan Ansell workers who have been fighting for almost three years, have finally won some justice. The original dispute began with the sacking of labour activist by Ansell in a clear union busting action. This week, an agreement was reached between the representing union (FTGSEU) and Ansell for many of these workers to be offered new jobs. Some will be offered early retirement packages. This fight is a testament to the role of unions, the power of international solidarity and the commitment of the workers themselves to fight for justice.
