Dear Mr. Roell
I join with the International Metalworkers' Federation in demanding you take immediate measures to guarantee the physical and psychological safety of Cándido Barreucos and Vigilio Melendez, and the other members of the Mexican Miners' Union at Johnson Controls Interiors in Puebla, Mexico.
I am seriously alarmed about the renewed attacks on the workers and these attempts to undermine workers' rights to form and join a union enshrined in ILO convention 87, to which Mexico is a signatory.
I also demand that you respect the agreement that you signed on May 29, 2010 with the workers to ensure their right to join the union of their choice.
Sincerely,
