Namibia Mineworkers Union Rossing Branch Fired Leaders Solidarity Statement With Bessemer Alabama Amazon Workers

We send you heartfelt greeting of solidarity from Namibia beyond the ocean to your robust struggle and express our fierce commination of what is happening in Alabama to the Amazon workers as they fight for the Union rights and against systemic racism.

As the nine unlawfully and illegally dismissed Branch Executive Committee of China National Nuclear Rossing Uranium Ldt, we stand in complete solidarity with all the workers fighting to defend and expand their rights and the discrimination you’re fighting back is just one of many injustices. It’s a blatant example persecution.

The management had no right to dismiss us, they claim we acted as Union Executives yet they dismissed us in our individual capacities and they plotted and formed special relationships with our Regional Leaders of the Mineworkers Union of Namibia and the General Secretary of Mineworkers Union of Namibia.

We were dismissed on the 29th September 2020 and up to date the Mine Workers Union of Namibia’ National Executive Committee and Regional Committees did not to challenge or condemn the company’s actions and neither did they express any solidarity towards us.

We firmly believe that the only way to achieve unity as working class and be liberated once and for all, is by strengthening the power of workers movements and unity all over the world, a task that we are apportioned to fight.

We call on all the workers and comrades to stand with our comrades of Bessemer Alabama Amazon Workers in solidarity and condemn any employer or individuals that violates workers rights globally.

Our Branch Executive Committee stand in solidarity with the Namibian fishermen who after a 5-year struggle have emerged victorious and retained their employment, solidarity with dockworkers at Walvisbay Harbour who have been illegally dismissed and the striking Shoprite workers that won their demands and returned to work.

The Union will always advocate for fairness, equal treatment and justice for all and remember that victory is certain if we all unite and stop this vicious capitalist masters.

In Solidarity. The 9 Unlawfully Dismissed Branch Executive Committee of China National Nuclear Corporation Rossing Branch Limited.
