Total's PR & UK action



today i spoke with the MAYC in the UK that this fall was involved with a
n aggressive anti-total action, by some 4000 young people protesting at
dozens among the 6-700 total service stations around the UK. That's a
lot of stations. They managed a photo petition and audience with Total
PR headquarters here in Paris. No one in the French press had picked it
up despite wide coverage in the UK. Further, Total continued to stick to
their total denial policy line, no linkage with hr violations or crimes
of the junta. Now, as the letter campaign continues, Total is sending
letters back unopened. Not very astute public relations, but that falls
in line with their orchestrated damage control policy of total denial we
can do no wrong, we develop the country, so leave us alone attitude and
the public and world opinion be damned! You may wish to contact the
Burma Action Group in the Uk for more information, but it appears that
Total's strategy now of dealing with criticism of their burma business
is such that they rather no longer be bothered and that human rights
actions are a thing of the past. You may wish to tell them that the free
burma movement has a different approach and considers Total responsible
to world public opinion and the people of burma, and not only
responsible to their drug-trafficking junta dictatorship.

See if they send your mail back to you!
