US embassy cable - 04ANKARA4134

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(U) Classified by Polcounselor John Kunstadter; reasons: 1.5 
(b,d). 
 
(C) Turkey's three main labor federations, center-right 
leaning Turk-Is (Federation of Turkish Workers' Unions), 
Islamist, conservative Hak-Is (Federation of Worker's Rights 
Unions), and communist DISK (Federation of Revolutionary 
Workers' Unions) focus exclusively on domestic Turkish labor 
rights issues.  It is unlikely that these unions will break 
from traditional tendencies to remain passive on 
international labor issues and play an active role in 
supporting labor rights in Cuba.
