Group: Repression of unions on the rise
"A total of 145 people worldwide were killed because of their union activities in 2004, 16 more than in the previous year, according to the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions' survey of worldwide working conditions.
Those figures reveal 'just how far many governments and employers are prepared to go in suppressing workers' rights to seek a competitive edge in increasingly cutthroat global markets,' said Guy Rider, general secretary of ICFTU, a group representing 234 labor organizations globally." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
