15 December 2008, International Labor Rights Forum

A new report published by the International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF), to mark International Human Rights Day, has highlighted corporations known for violating workers’ freedom of association and right to organize. Selected on the basis of their ties to violence against trade unions and suppression of the universal right to organise, this year’s top offenders include three of the main actors along the international tropical fruit supply chain - Dole, Del Monte and Wal-Mart.
