DESCRIPTION:November 8, 2024 International Day Of Action To Defend Workers Rights In

 \nSan Francisco \nChinese Consulate Laguna & Geary St.\nSan Francisco, 
 California\n\nNamibian workers are under attack. They are being injured and 
 killed in the uranium, marble and lithium mines and their union leaders 
 have been retaliated and fired for standing up for their members.\n\nAt the 
 Namibia Husab uranium mine which is the second largest uranium mine in the 
 world, firefighters and other mine workers have been contracted out by the 
 owner China General Nuclear Power to Eagle Night Watch Security company. 
 Workers do not have safety masks and PPE and are being poisoned and injured 
 on the job as contract workers which is benefiting  CGNP.\n\nThe Namibian 
 Labour Commission as well has also been captured by CGNP,  and the Chinese 
 National Nuclear Corporation that controls the Rossing uranium mine. 
 Unionists at both these mines have been bullied, fired, blacklisted  and 
 Chinese workers are being brought into do their work in violation their  
 union and labor law under Namibian law. They are also contracting out all 
 the work at these mines and other companies they have taken over. These 
 slave labor conditions are similar to conditions under apartheid.\n\nOn 
 November 8, 2024 there will be an arbitration for Eagle Night Watch 
 Security workers to demand that the company pay them a living wage and has 
 proper health and safety protection. The Labour Commission has also stalled 
 the arbitration of Husab mine union leader Marcia Kauatjitotje who was 
 fired for defending her fellow workers.\n\nPlease join this international 
 campaign and take action at the embassies and consulates of Namibia and 
 Chinese on November 8, 2024\n\n Rehired All Fired Namibian Union Workers At
