Food workers in Lebanon fight for their jobs against a global giant

In an obvious union busting move, the global snack food giant Mondelez has abruptly closed its factory in Beirut, Lebanon, intending to move operations to a non unionised factory in nearby Egypt. Mondelez has a history of suppressing workers’ right to organise. There is an ongoing international campaign linking these struggles. Mondelez has factories all over the world, and co ordinated actions by workers across its global operations will be the most effective strategy to advance our rights.
