Human Rights Watch Calls on Sodexo's France Headquarters to Reign in US Operations' Treatment of Front Line Employees
September 2, 2010Today, a new report "A Strange Case: Violations of Workers' Freedom of Association in the United States by European Multinational Corporations," issued by Human Rights Watch highlighted European corporations including global food services giant Sodexo as carrying out an aggressive campaign to keep American workers from organizing and collective bargaining rights as well as violating international standards and U.S. labor law. Specifically Sodexo was found to have threatened, interrogated, and fired workers who tried to form a union. Even though Sodexo is a self-proclaimed "progressive" company, the report asserts that Sodexo takes advantage of weaker US labor laws than exist in their home country of France. Full release.
