The 2011 annual survey of violations of trade union rights in the world has shown anti-union repression increases in Asia-Pacific. Thailand was also mentioned in the survey that "Employers display an openly anti-union attitude…"...[and] "the legal framework is not conducive to trade union activities. Union members suffered discrimination..."…More than 1,000 Asian trade unionists were injured and almost as many were arrested…The ITUC Annual Survey also denounced employers and authorities use of thugs to attack trade union leaders or activists. In addition to Bangladesh and China, this was notably the case in India and the Philippines. [refers to Michelin, Tycoons, Hicom Automotive Plastics]
