Need emails to Southern Company re anti-union gas supplier in Columbia

Support Workers in Colombia
A Drummond Watch Action Alert

Negotiations are underway between the union and Drummond Company. Despite the enormous profits that Drummond derives from its Colombia operations, the company has not accepted any of the workers' requests as presented in their petition. Rather than negotiating in
good faith, the company has outright refused to consider nearly all of the points raised by the union. Union members continue their struggle despite threats of extreme violence from paramilitaries who move freely in and around Drummond mining facilities.

Drummond Company has taken none of the steps requested in previous alerts. We are now contacting Drummond's customers asking them to put pressure on Drummond to negotiate in good faith and provide security for its workers. Send an email to Allen Franklin, Chairman and CEO of Southern Company, as well as president and CEO-elect David Ratcliffe, and let them know the truth about Drummond. If Drummond doesn't clean up its act in Colombia, Southern Company should find another supplier and cancel existing contracts with Drummond.
