They were told that their redundancy pay had been deposited with the Labour Inspectorate at Babahoyo. That day, the rest of the workers started a strike calling for the reinstatement of the sacked workers. On 11 February a 35-strong police contingent removed the striking workers from the Josefa plantation. When challenged by the workers to produce a warrant justifying this action, the manager preferred to use force and was supported by the police.: Ecuador ITUC-CSI 2006 ILO violation 87 : In September 2006, the Collin Street Bakery company, a supplier of pineapples to Dole, harassed its union members and that refrained from negotiating a collective agreement and setting trade unions freely.: Costa Rica ITUC-CSI 2006 ILO violation 87 : In the Piña Fruit SA company, which sells pineapples to Dole and is known for its terrible working conditions and constant violations of workers’ rights, it is impossible to form trade unions. On 2 June a first group of workers was organised by SITRAP. The company proceeded to ban members of the union from entering the plantations for organising purposes and threatened workers who failed to leave the union with the closure of the plantations. They did this by visiting the plantations and speaking to the workers, explaining how the banana plantations had been closed down in the 1980s and showing union members a video in the firm’s office depicting violent situations caused by trade unionists in the banana plantations and the human misery caused by the closure of those plantations in the south, which they blamed on the existence of trade unions in that region.: Costa Rica ITUC-CSI 2003 59000 2002 57000 2002 ILO violation 1, 26, 87, 98, 131, 138 : Bambini di 8 anni, giorno lavorativo medio dura 12 ore, guadagnano in media 3.50 dollari al giorno, licenziamenti di lavoratori iscritti a sindacato: Ecuador Human Righ. 1999 53500 1999 -9000 1999 ILO violation 87, 98 : Interdiction des syndicats indépendants dans toutes les plantations: Costa Rica 1998 ILO violation 138 : Travail d'enfants: Philippines 1998 » More restructuring at Dole Food Company Inc. » Layoff plans and labour conditions in 2007 Environmental impact year country : consequences source 2004 Nicaragua : Condamné à payer, avec 2 autres entreprises, 82,9 millions de $US à 80 travailleurs nicaraguayens employés dans des bananeraies.
