The ICEM has issued a circular calling on affiliates to again protest directly to Saint-Gobain CEO Jean-Louis Beffa over continued intransigence in bargaining at a US abrasives plant. A majority of some 800 workers in Worcester, Massachusetts, voted for ICEM affiliate United Auto Workers in August 2001 but after 121 bargaining sessions, workers and the UAW are still without a collective agreement. Protest letters can go to Beffa at Saint-Gobain, 18 avenue d’Alsace, 92096 La Défense, Cedex, France.
