Raytheon stand accused of supplying missiles to Israel and aiding the manufacture of cluster bombs which kill children.

As employees arrived at work they were told about killing of civilians and other human rights violations using weapons they develop and manufacture. They were asked to consider the part they were playing in the killing of innocent people, particularly in occupied Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan. It was put to employees that their pay packets were funded through abuses of the UN Charter and other fundamental human rights.

Good on these guys for getting down to some protesting. Raytheon has been the focus for a few protests. I think its good targeting the people who work for these companies as they may not be fully aware of what their products do, or they simply turn a blind eye to the destruction they help create. Sure its tough getting a job but do people have no morals or values?

As usual this protest was not touched by the mainstream media. Out of sight out of mind.
