Last week we saw daily pickets in front of the Mall of Berlin ? Mall of Shame by the FAU
Romanian construction workers and their supporters. Support has been growing from day to
day, many people joined the picket line, brought food and other stuff. More than 10.000
leaflets have been handed out so far. On the virtual side more than 1.400 supporters liked
the struggle FB so far and nearly 500 signed a petition to the general contractor for the
sweathuts that owe the workers their wage. Most Berlin newspapers covered the struggle
with more or less sympathies for the workers. ---- This week is about to see even more
activity. Apart from the daily pickets that are about to continue, there will be a
demonstration in Berlin on saturday 6. So once you should be on a visit to Berlin anyway,
feel free to join the picket line and the demonstration.
There are quite a couple of sources of information about the conflict and its backgrounds:
