SODEXO21 – 22 October 2010 (Paris)

128-page report. “A strange case: violations of workers’ freedom of association in the United States by European multinational corporations” aka European corporate hypocrisy.

Short summary. European companies with operations in the US are breaching international labour standards by applying US law rather than European practice.

Applies not only in US, but everywhere.
