On Friday, May 21, the Labour working group of the Vrije Bond in collaboration with Shut Down VION! will hold a flyer action in front of the gate of Vion's largest pig slaughterhouse in Boxtel to inform migrant workers about their legal position/

This blog is published on May 1, Labor Day, in solidarity with workers internationally, then and now.

On Tuesday, March 30, we blocked the entrance to Vion in Boxtel and stopped animals going to slaughter. Four activists were arrested and Vion can just continue with murder and exploitation.

At Vion's slaughterhouse in Landshut, Germany, workers launched strikes Wednesday. We are in solidarity with the strikers against Vion, we hope that their colleagues in Boxtel and other branches will also take action.

Yesterday a video was released in which a Romanian migrant worker is beaten up by the manager of employment agency Reyhan. Most likely the assaulted man worked for Vion.
