Illegal layoff of IWW union member

To whom it may concern,

We protest against the layoff of the IWW Members Daniel Gross, Evan
Winterscheidt, Joe Agnis Jr and Charls Fostrom.

We demand to stop your hostile behavior toward unions and that you
immediately withdraw the layoff of our IWW comrades.

We reserve the right to inform your employees and the public in Germany
about your scandalous behavior.  To your knowledge our sister unions worldwide are informed to make
further steps in informing the public in case your are not withdraw the
layoff.

We won't accept any layoff that is based on union activities.

Regards,

Daniel Ho
