ILO Says Decision Expanding Definition of Supervisors Violates Freedom of Association - 03/20/08

By Doug Cunningham

The International Labor Organization says a U.S. labor board’s decision expanding the definition of supervisors is contrary to international freedom of association standards. AFL-CIO President, John Sweeney says the U.S. belongs to the ILO and is bound to honor its principles. He says the Bush labor board’s decision broadening the definition of supervisors to exempt more workers from legal from union rights protections is shameful. The ILO released its decision in response to an AFL-CIO complaint.

1. Do you know who I can contact to get more information?
I'm trying to get the exact decision issued by the ILO. It's not on the ILO website (at least I couldnt' find it) and not on the AFL-CIO site.
I was hoping you might know someone directly involved.
Thanks.
