Form letter/mailing about strikes involving over 50,000 black workers in South Africa in actions aimed at improving their present starvation wages. There has been little reporting about U.S. corporations hit by the strikes apart from brief references to the shutting down of the Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola plants in Durban. The mailing says a Colgate Palmolive plant in Boksburg was also affected by the wave of workers actions. Colgate Palmolive's management in South Africa appears very comfortable with the system of apartheid.
