On May 12, 1997 the Communications Workers of America will launch a new section of their web site with a Day of Electronic Activism. The site is devoted to the fight for jobs with justice at Disney companies and their inexcusable treatment of their employees at ABC and in foreign sweatshops.
What you will do at the site:
- Send a message to Disney CEO Michael Eisner protesting union busting at ABC and labor abuses abroad - Disney is demanding take-backs from workers, including the elimination of company pension contributions. The company also employed a contractor in Thailand who exploited 13 and 14 year old children by hiring them to sew Disney clothes.
- Send an email to Members of Congress asking them to close a tax loophole by which Disney will avoid paying $600 million in capital gains taxes - this translates to $5 per taxpayer.
- Send an email to major advertisers on the ABC television network letting them know that you do not want to patronize their businesses if they continue to bankroll Disney - A 12 year old girl was found working in a Los Angeles factory that manufactures Disney products. How can advertisers support this sort of abhorrent behavior?
