Dear Mr Lo,

Concerned by reports of Globalization Monitor Ltd. and other Chinese and international labour groups, I am calling upon Gold Peak to respect workers rights and to improve working conditions at your subsidiary Power Pack in Huizhou, China. I am especially concerned about the crippled right for compensation and redress of cadmium-affected (ex-) workers of Gold Peak Industries.

I am joining Globalization Monitor Ltd. and other labour groups in their call upon Gold Peak to ensure that the management of Gold Peak subsidiary Power Pack engages upon proper negotiations with its workers and their representatives on the basis of equality and transparency, in order to resolves disputes over wages and benefits.

I support Globalization Monitor Ltd. and other labour groups in stressing that the right to assembly is a basic right according to the Chinese constitution. Dismissing an employee as a punishment for being detained by the local police is unacceptable. I support the demand made to the Power Pack management to reinstate or fully compensate Ms Wang Fengping.

I also support Globalization Monitor Ltd. and the other labour groups in their demand that the Power Pack management looks into the violence used against striking workers by the company’s security guards in December 2009, and to pay the hospitalisation costs of the injured workers.

Sincerely,
