Dear friends,Militant greetings from All Pakistan Trade Union Federation.As you all know that the management of Capital Industry (Pvt) Ltd is constantly violating labor laws, not allowing workers to practice their very legal right of collective bargaining. Management of Capital Industry Pvt. Ltd. is constantly attacking o­n workers right, and not accepting their demands. They hire goons men to harass union avtivists and using all the tactics to bust trade union.

To support the struggle of Capital Industry Workers, we request you to immediately send protest messages to Chief Executive of Capital Industries (name, adress, fax etc. given).

We, over 60 women, survivors of the tsunami and activists involved in the tsunami relief and reconstruction efforts, from India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Malaysia gathered in Banda Aceh in the village of Lambaro Seubun o­n July 25-27, 2005, for the Asian Women�s Consultation o­n Post Tsunami Challenges.

Seven months after the December 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, affected women continue to be marginalised, discriminated and excluded from the process of rebuilding o­n all levels: the family, the community and the nation.
