Train drivers in Japan ask for your help.

Years ago when I wrote "Everyone Can be a herO",  I envisaged that train drivers would be some of the people who might be at risk during and after a nuclear accident and wrote this into the story.
Sadly, even this is coming true, but we can do something about it if we are prepared to stand up for the Japanese rail drivers when they need international support.  Please could you pass the message on to other people. This isn't fiction, this is real.
  There is a link to their attachment which I have placed at the end of their letter which explains in full the situation they find they are in.

Subject: Doro-Chiba QR#34: strike against radioactive workplace

Dear Friends,
Japanese rail workers launched a historic strike against radioactive exposure of train crews and passengers. "We are not slaves of the Government and Tepco. Refuse to be exposed to high radiation from Fukusima Daiichi!"
Please forward this email as widely as possible, send protest messages to the Japanese government’s email form below and organize anti-nuke struggle all around the world.
And please read and fill the attached endorsement form of November 6 rally and send back to us.
In Solidarity,
International Labor Solidarity Committee of Doro-Chiba
These are the two attachments:  The first one explains the situation the drivers are in  far more fully.
Doro-ChibaQR_034.pdf, Endorsement_to_Nov_6_Rally.doc   in English.

Thank you.
