But in the United States, the company is doing the opposite \u2014 deploying pressure tactics, stalling organizing efforts, and denying workers a fair process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">&#8220;They market themselves as a global leader in human rights and corporate responsibility, but behind the branding and polished reports is a very different reality. For workers in America, Nestl\u00e9 has created a double standard \u2014 neutrality abroad, union-busting at home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">&#8220;You can&#8217;t claim to support human rights globally while undermining them in your own facilities. Nestl\u00e9&#8217;s commitments mean nothing if they refuse to honor the basic principles of freedom of association and collective bargaining in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">&#8220;The Teamsters are calling on Nestl\u00e9 to immediately end all anti-union activity and adopt true neutrality and card check recognition nationwide. Workers deserve the right to decide their future free from coercion, intimidation, or delay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">&#8220;If Nestl\u00e9 continues to ignore its workforce and hide behind its carefully crafted public image, it will be forced to answer for that hypocrisy. Teamsters across North America are prepared to take coordinated action to expose the gap between what Nestl\u00e9 says and what it does.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents over 1.3 million hardworking people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.
