Global survey charts anti-union repression spread International Confederation Of Free Trade Unions, Scoop Media
In the industrialised world, union busting is big business, notably in the United States where the use of union-busting consultants by employers is common practice. . The survey underlines that 40% of all public sector workers in the country are still denied basic collective bargaining rights, meaning that alongside to some 25 million private civilian workers, 6.9 million federal, state and local government employees do not have the right under any law to negotiate their wages, hours or employment terms.
In Canada meanwhile, provincial labour legislation excludes entire sectors, leaving agricultural and horticultural workers exposed to exploitation, and as this year's report shows, the rights of some public sector workers have been further restricted.------------------------------------------- posted 8:23 AM :: reference link ::
