Nearly 1,000 tea workers in West Bengal, India recently dared to challenge management -- triggering a lockout that has lasted for months.

Those workers and their families now face the threat of starvation.

The IUF has launched an online campaign of protest, noting that the company -- which produces the world famous Tetley teas -- is a member of the "Ethical Tea Partnership" and has thereby committed itself to treating its workers a lot better than this.

And please -- spread the word!

Thanks.

Indian workers starving because they refuse to pick tea for a slave wage?

It's like the British Empire never ended. Now the queen just needs to have her thugs slaughter 30 million Indians and the cycle will be complete.
