ITUC Issues Alert to Collect Trade Union Violations Occurring in 2008

The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) has issued its annual call for compilation of all trade union violations occurring country-by-country in 2008. The confederation of national labour centres annually publishes a Survey of Violations of Trade Union Rights, and ICEM affiliates and other trade unions are encouraged to work through their national centres in order to submit information.

The query is a comprehensive two-page questionnaire, covering respective legislation on trade unions and a reporting format for noting violations of trade union rights.

“The ITUC’s annual survey is a valuable resource that is often overlooked in importance,” said ICEM General Secretary Manfred Warda. “We encourage trade unions throughout the world to respond to this call.” Contact a national labour centre in your country for more information, or e-mail the ITUC’s the Labour Rights Department at [email protected] to see how you can contribute.
