Support for Unilever Workers in India Exposed to Mercury !

In March 2001, Unilever's thermometer factory in Kodaikanal, India, was exposed for illegally dumping toxic mercury wastes in a scrap yard adjacent to a school in a sensitive watershed forest behind the factory building. Workers and former employees are outraged at the callousness of Unilever for keeping them in the dark about the toxic nature of
mercury - a substance that was handled casually in the workplace.

Unilever's workers have demanded their health records from the company in preparation for an independent assessment of potential health effects from their workplace exposure to mercury. They have also demanded meaningful financial compensation for closure of the factory and a long-term plan for health monitoring and remediation.

The company has ignored both demands. Instead, Unilever has relocated production more than 1000 miles away.
