	ICANN Yokohama Meeting Topic: Introduction of New Top-Level Domains Expression of Interest #26
		The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions is submitting this expression of interest, on behalf of a group of international trade union organisations and their national affiliated organisations.
		This purpose of this database, however, is primarily to maintain information on international and national trade union organisations, and not union locals or branches, many of which already have their own web site.
		We would also expect that, at least in the early days, trade union organisations from the wealthier industrialised countries would make up a large proportion of the registrations, since the majority of workers with access to the Internet is currently based in these parts of the world.

	Chasing the holy grail of free trade, by Dorval Brunelle
		The largest American trade union group (AFL-CIO), in conjunction with Orit, sent a delegation to support various South American trade union groups that had called for an international day to commemorate the struggle for Mercosur workers’ rights.
		Shortly thereafter, in parallel with the third trade ministerial meeting held in Belo Horizonte (Brazil) in May 1997, representatives of the trade union organisations of the Americas met with delegates from various anti-free-trade groups at the third trade union summit.
		The most innovative of the measures adopted at the trade union summit was the decision to launch the Hemispheric Social Alliance (HSA), thereby establishing a broad-based coalition with a view to developing "viable and concrete alternatives to the FTAA" (9).

	GB.268/6C - Governing Body
		The ICFTU alleges specific acts of repression and interference by the police and government authorities in trade union rallies and meetings, as well as in general "stay-aways" and the arrests of several trade union leaders and members.
		In its communication of 29 May 1996 the ICFTU adds that section 3 of the Public Order Act of 1963 empowers the police to give or refuse permission for meetings and public gatherings and is applied to trade union meetings in Swaziland and thereby authorizes the police to be present.
		The ICFTU's complaint concerned the harassment, assault, threats, arrest and detention of leaders and members of the Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions.

	International Confederation of Free Trade Unions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ICFTU also maintains close links with the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) (which includes all ICFTU European affiliates) and Global Union Federations, which link together national unions from a particular trade or industry at international level.
		Alleging Communist domination of the WFTU's central institutions, a large number of non-communist national trade union federations (including the U.S., the British TUC, the French CFDT, the Italian CISL and the Spanish UGT) seceded and created the rival ICFTU at a conference in London attended by representatives of nearly 48 million members in 53 countries.
		The publication of that report is usually accompanied by extensive press coverage of the violations of trade union rights around the globe, often focussing on the numbers of people killed simply for being members of unions.

	New Statesman: Bill jordan - promoting the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions around the world
		Jordan talks fondly of a global "family" of bodies centred on the ICFTU in alliance with the trade union advisory committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the international trade union secretariats that represent the occupational and sectoral divisions between workers.
		Jordan would love to detach the word "trade" from union and form "labour unions" -- a new international that would help tear down the walls that weaken the "global house of labour".
		But he warns: "What I have in mind is not a well-meaning club where trade unions from better-off nations offer help to those in the developing world." Jordan is keen to resist any condescension, and wants to integrate the southern part of the world more fully in the international labour movement.
