WE PROTEST TERMINATION NOTICES TO PAKISTANI WORKERS ON BIRGER JARL We have learnt with grave concern that 19 Pakistani workers (working on board Birger Jarl cruising ship) have been served termination notices. The pretext that Rederi Allandia will lose certain EU compensation is not acceptable since Birger Jarl is making a profit worth € 1.5 million according to company's own claim. The possible redundancies are simply discriminatory, immoral and unacceptable. We demand that termination notices be withdrawn immediately and these workers be given a job guarantee. We also demand an immediate end to harassment of the workers. Regards. Pierre Rousset on behalf of Europe solidaire sans frontières (ESSF), France
