| IN 2015, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR LABOR RIGHTS SENT AN INTERNATIONAL LABOR DELEGATION TO TURKEY FROM APRIL 18-22, 2015 TO INVESTIGATE THE DENIAL OF THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION OF METAL WORKERS IN THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IN BURSA, AN INDUSTRIAL CITY NEAR ISTANBUL. THE DELEGATION WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE REQUEST OF DISK-BIRLESIK METAL IS UNION. THE DELEGATION INTERVIEWED WORKERS FROM SEVERAL MANUFACTURING PLANTS INCLUDING TWO BOSCH PLANTS. THE ISSUES RAISED IN THE INTERVIEWS INCLUDED: (1) THE INABILITY OF WORKERS TO CHOOSE A UNION THAT REPRESENTS THEIR INTERESTS BECAUSE OF NUMEROUS LEGAL AND EMPLOYER-GENERATED OBSTACLES; (2) RETALIATION IN THE WORKPLACE FOR SUPPORTING THE DISK UNION AND FOR ENGAGING IN UNION-RELATED ACTIVITY; AND (3) STRIKE-RELATED TERMINATIONS AND THE INADEQUACY OF THE REMEDY FOR THESE FIRINGS. | $0 | $0 |
| ICLR BOARD MEMBERS, JEFF VOGT AND ANGELA CORNELL PRESENTED ARGUMENTS TO THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN SAN JUAN, COSTA RICA IN JUNE 2015. THEY ARGUED THAT TRADE UNIONS SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS JURIDICAL PERSONS, WHO ARE ENTITLED TO DIRECT ACCESS TO THE INTER-AMERICAN SYSTEM ON THEIR OWN BEHALF. THE GOVERNMENT OF PANAMA INITIATED THE CASE WITH ITS REQUEST FOR AN ADVISORY OPINION FROM THE COURT. ICLR ARGUED THAT TRADE UNIONS SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED IN LIGHT OF THEIR STATUS IN INTER-AMERICAN INSTRUMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL LAW MORE BROADLY, AND THAT CORPORATIONS SHOULD NOT. BOTH OF THESE POSITIONS WERE SUSTAINED BY THE COURT IN 2016. | $0 | $0 |
| IN 2015 THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR LABOR RIGHTS CONTINUED THEIR PREVIOUS YEARS' WORK TO SUPPORT THE AUTOMOBILE WORKERS AT THE MARUTI SUZUKI FACTORY IN HARYANA, INDIA, AND THEIR LAWYERS IN LEGAL FILINGS ABOUT THE VIOLATIONS OF THEIR HUMAN AND LABOR RIGHTS. | $0 | $0 |
