US and international unions have accused Ray-Ban maker Luxottica, the Italian arm of eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica, of violating workers right to unionize at a US plant in Georgia and asked the Italian, French, and US governments to mediate.
In a statement sent to Reuters, the Communications Workers of America (CWA), together with the AFL-CIO and two other workers groups, alleged that managers of the Luxottica plant in McDonough, near Atlanta, Georgia, unleashed an aggressive and fear-inducing campaign to discourage its 2,000 employees from seeking union membership.

Union workers at legacy phone and internet company Consolidated Communications in Maine and neighboring New England states say they have authorized a potential strike.
Union representatives said Wednesday in a news release that the labor contracts of more than 1,000 workers in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire expire Aug. 7, and that negotiations over new contracts have been underway since March with no resolution in sight.
While there are no immediate plans for a work stoppage, representatives of the Communications Workers of America Local 1400 and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Locals 2320, 2326 and 2327 voted by an “overwhelming majority” to authorize a strike if necessary, according to the release.
