(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.
