Boycott Lilets by MarshaJane Thompson

Women are being urged to boycott Lil-lets sanitary products as part of a campaign to save workers' pensions.Around 150 people lost their jobs when the company - now owned by private equity - shut its last UK factory, "exporting" the work to Taiwan and Poland.Now the Unite union has made a "period drama" highlighting the plight of 46 members they claim will lose a third of their pension. The union is posting the film on YouTube and its own website in an effort to shame Lil-lets' new bosses into a more generous settlement.Unite leader Derek Simpson claimed that it would cost the company £1.7million to let the workers "retire with dignity" on a full pension.He said: "The power of the internet lets unions reach out to millions of people and influence their choices."
