Human Rights Watch, published a report entitled A Strange Case — Violation of Workers’ Freedom of Association in the United State by European Multinational Corporations…The Report argues that the protections available in the United States for workers who desire to become unionized are insufficient and that the American laws are inconsistent with the protections available under international labour law…This paper is a response by the International Organisation of Employers (“IOE”) to some of the critical flaws contained in the Report and its analysis. This Response is designed to offer a broader and more complete perspective on this critical debate. The foregoing text will identify and explore misleading aspects of the Report. The analyses in this Response relied upon publicly available information, including the responses from the companies featured in the Report, and the IOE’s own review and understanding of the relevant authorities.
