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.
