RNZI has reported that the Union of Kanaky and Exploited Workers (USTKE) in Kanaky/New Caledonia will hold a one-day general strike tomorrow as 22 of its members are due in court appealing jail sentences for their role in the clashes with police in Noumea in January.
[ USTKE]

The USTKE is committed to struggling against capitalism and colonialism in the south Pacific and is amongst the most militant of unions in the Pacific. It combines industrial and political action in an island that is still a colony of France and for decades indigenous people and workers have struggled for self-determination.
