Solidarity Callout - Domino's Pizza Drivers Dispute

Solidarity Callout - Domino's Pizza Drivers Dispute

Dear friends:

The Workers Solidarity Alliance (WSA), in solidarity with the

Australian General Transport Workers Association and the

Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation-IWA, is appealing to you and your

members to support the delivery drivers employed by Domino's Pizza

Enterprises in Australia.

The Domino's drivers have been engaged in a dispute with management

since 9th of April. The key issue in this struggle has been an

overnight 19% wage reduction. Meanwhile, the drivers have been sold

out by their current union, the SDA, which has done nothing to fight

the cuts. The GTWA and the ASF-IWA are calling for an International

Day of Solidarity with the Domino's Drivers on Saturday, September 15,

2012.

The aim of the Day is to alert Domino's management that workers and

members of the community in North America and elsewhere stand in

solidarity with the Australian delivery drivers in their struggle

against the wage cut and in support of their right to organize under

the banner of the General Transport Workers Association (GTWA). The

GWTA Facebook page can be viewed here:

The Australian friends are asking that folks engage in informational

picketing, informational leafleting and other peaceful activities

aimed at informing local management and workers about the Australian

dispute. It is hoped that the local stores will report to corporate

headquarters about the informational activities and this would put

pressure on the company.

The goal is informational actions with the main point to have Domino's

restore the 19% wage reduction and recognize the GWTA as the drivers

union. Please contact us if you are interested in participating with

us in a coordinated effort to support the Brisbane and Adelaide

drivers.

We look forward to your positive reply and cooperatively working

together to make this Domino's Drivers Solidarity Day a success here

in North America.

Yours in solidarity,

Workers Solidarity Alliance
