	Imerys refuse to negotiate on pensions cuts
		TandG members at Imerys, formerly English China Clay, have already indicated that they are prepared to fight against the savage cutbacks to their final salary pension scheme, and the Union is holding a series of mass meetings in Cornwall and Devon next week where plans for an industrial action ballot will be considered.
		Imerys are now expecting our members to accept cutbacks in their pensions as a result.
		As a result of the changes by Imerys, 2,500 pension scheme members will see their pension benefits downgraded which will be the equivalent of up to one third of the value of the pension for many workers and as much as 40% for others.

		Of the 53 citations issued to Imerys by MSHA, 14 were related to machine guarding, nine were for mobile equipment, eight were for electrical-related violations and six were for health overexposures, including overexposure to noise and airborne contaminants, according to information provided by MSHA spokesperson Suzy Bohnert.
		While the company acknowledges "safety issues will arise in an industrial and mining environment," Imerys Group is in the third year of an "improved safety program" at its North American operations that has resulted in a 20-percent reduction in lost-time accidents at Sylacauga, according to the statement.

		Imerys publicizes its so-called adherence to these principles on its web page, www.imerys.com, and in several company documents.
		That complaint accuses Imerys of failing to abide by the terms of a grievance settlement with the local union representing the Dry Branch employees, and refusing to provide information requested by the local union for bargaining.
		The complaint also alleges that Imerys violated federal law when one of its supervisors threatened to crack down on employees’ attendance in retaliation for the union’s investigation of employee complaints, and when management thereafter did retaliate against employees.

	Human Rights for Workers Bulletin
		Imerys decided that it would no longer recognize the union, which had represented workers at the unionized plant for 29 years; it argued that the union was not qualified to speak for its workers.
		The participation of an ordinary American worker in a solidarity mission to Europe was a new twist on a technique that has worked well in the United States: bringing in rank-and-file workers from Central America to testify at college forums and Congressional hearings about abuses in factories producing for U.S. consumers.
		That pattern comprises the framework of a larger union plan to cope with globalization, not only by greatly strengthening their own internal networks across international boundaries but also by reaching outside those ranks to enlist the cooperation of non-governmental organizations, intergovernmental agencies, and even multinational corporations.

	French Company Feels International Pressure on Labor Rights
		Imerys resulted from the merger last year of Imetal and English China Clays, which operated neighboring plants in Sylacauga, Alabama.
		Unions from France and England, in particular, where Imerys has major production sites and good labor-relations, have urged the company to abandon its anti-union stance in the U.S. "It is significant that Walden collaborated with an international union federation to bring U.S. workers' concerns to their French company's management," said Heim.
		Imerys recently made significant changes in its U.S. management line-up, and repeatedly asserted their official position at the annual meeting that the company regarded anti-union campaigns as "unacceptable." But despite meeting with PACE representatives in Alabama since the annual meeting, the company continues to reject the union's proposal for an election.

	ICEM Update (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		PACE now wants the chance to represent workers throughout the newly merged Imerys operation there, but the company has hired professional "union-busters" to discourage union organising and is blocking all attempts to let its workers decide if they want to be represented by the union.
		Imerys is based in France, where unions are backing the American workers' campaign.
		Rediker has a long history of anti-unionism and PACE believes that he was the main reason why Imerys' attitude to trade unions in America has clashed so markedly with its policies in Europe.
