prosperity for all! Global (social) rights to acquire! For a very different climate! Food sovereignty now!
around the globe are supermarkets on the rise. For food there are more than thirty world's only super market chains, which handle a third of the total trade! Guarantor of success are primarily Permanent low - enforced by globally operating companies. The only drawback: the is much vaunted cheap goods do not come for free. Rather, it would be possible without the systematic violation of social rights and not at all without destruction of ecological resources. Closely linked to the bullying working conditions, low income of farmers and the hyper-exploitation of migrant workers and the dramatic impact of industrial farming (more on that in " background").
The action aims to more than "mere" information. We want to cooperate but also with all those movements, initiatives and trade unions call, which are already involved in concrete struggles for global rights. An example is the dairy farmers and farmers, supermarket employees, the transport workers, the environment and human rights activists, precarious and critical consumers, solidarity movements and migrant farm workers by a firm. We want to raise the question of solidarity for organization along the production chain and how these actors can support each other in their struggle for rights. In this perspective, we have the following action steps: On the evening of
16.04. will take place at this question a panel discussion . On Friday the 17th 2004, during the day, several decentralized and self-organized actions in and around Supermarkets are carried out. The actions should - if possible - be documented (film, photo, audio ...), to make the action available in the longer term. In the early evening there will be in Vienna, a joint United action, which will then end their find in a small festival on the campus of the old General Hospital.
