Dear Ambassador Guillermo
Castillo,

I recently heard about the case of
workers in the CHOI SHIN factory in Villa Nueva and I want to urge the
government of Guatemala to take action to support
the factory workers and protect their rights.  The owners of CHOI SHIN are
attempting to illegally close the factory and move production to other factories
within Guatemala and in Nicaragua all in an attempt to break
the union at CHOI SHIN.

We are asking your government to
support a full legal investigation, support the workers rights to a union and
force the company to respect the union and the law by re-opening the plant and
reemploying the union workers.

I know that the Guatemalan
government is working to bring change to Guatemala and I hope this case will
be a way for the government to show the world that the new administration is
committed to protecting worker’s rights.

Sincerely,
