SUMMARY:PROTEST ISRAELI TAKEOVER OF CLOVER DAIRY IN SOUTH AFRICA BY ISRAELI CORPORATION
DESCRIPTION:THURSDAY JAN 27\, 2022  12:00 NOON \nSAN FRANCISCO ISRAELI CONSULATE\n456 MONTGOMERY ST SAN FRANCISCO\, CA 94104 \n\nLOS ANGELES ISRAELI CONSULATE\n6380 WILSHIRE BLVD.\, LOS ANGELES \n\nNEW YORK ISRAELI CONSULATE\n800 SECOND AVENUE\, NEW YORK\, NY 10017 \n  \nClover is the largest dairy company with 5\,000 workers. In 2019\, the ANC government allowed it to be taken over by the Israeli billionaire Wertheim family. They promised to protect jobs until October 2022\, but they are now laying off thousands and shutting plants in rural communities with plans to import Israeli products. The company also imposed a 20% cut in wages. \nThe South African Federation of Trade Unions\, General Industrial Union of South Africa\, and Food and Allied Workers union are also demanding that the company be nationalized and that it be run under workers con- trol. They are also supporting an international day of solidarity action. \nActions will be held at Israeli consulates\, embassies\, South African consulates\, embassies\, and the Israeli bank Mizrahi Tefahot which is owned by the Wertheim family and is the third largest bank in Israel. \nThe Wertheim family also controls the Coca-Cola franchise through the Central Bottling Company\, CBC. \nThey support and fund Israeli settlements on Palestinian land and the Israeli Defense Forces. \nOn January 18th\, in an escalation of the attacks on striking workers by Clover bosses\, rubber bullets were fired at workers injuring them at the Clover Clayville plant in Johannesburg. The use of rubber bullets by Clover’s private security forces is linked up directly with the treatment of Palestinians except they use bullets to terrorize and murder. \nWorkers’ demands are clear: \n1. The unconditional re-instatement of all retrenched workers \n2. The complete scrapping of all austerity measures including the 20% salary cuts \n3. The disinvestment of Milco SA/CBC \n4. Nationalization of Clover SA and its complete transformation into a co-operative run by workers and communities.
