The opening paragraph of the ICLR statement reads:
As workers in the thousands and hundreds of thousands in Wisconsin, Indiana
and Ohio and around the country demonstrate to protect the right of public
sector workers to collective bargaining, the political battle has
overshadowed any reference to the legal rights to collective bargaining. The
political battle to prevent the loss of collective bargaining is reinforced
by the fact that stripping any collective bargaining rights is blatantly
illegal. Courts and agencies around the world have uniformly held the right
of collective bargaining in the public sector is an essential element of the
right of Freedom of Association, which is a fundamental right under both
International law and the United States Constitution.
