How European multinationals violate labour rights in the US‏

Sodexo, Group 4, Siemens, DHL, Tesco among the firms highlighted in a new Human Rights Watch report 'As demonstrated in the cases detailed in this report, some of the largest and best-known European employers in the United States ... seem to forget their sensitivity to social responsibility concerns and much-touted public commitments to workers' rights.


'They break with home-based policies that are relatively respectful of workers' organizing efforts and collective bargaining, and that view "social dialogue" as a core element of industrial relations. Instead, they exploit the loopholes and shortcomings in US labor law that violate international human rights standards or violate US law that comports with international standards to frustrate workers' exercise of their right to freedom of association. The European Dr. Jekyll becomes an American Mr. Hyde.' http://www.hrw.org/en/node/92718/section/2#_ftnref6
