Information on particular treatment of
people involved in union activity could not be found among the
sources currently available to the IRBDC. For a general view of
recent union activity, please refer to Europa Year Book
1989, (London: Europa Publications, 1989), pp. 2895-2896, and
Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1988,
(Washington: U.S. Department of State, 1989), pages 722-723, as
well as the Critique: Review of the Department of State's
Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1988,
(Washington: Human Rights Watch, July 1989), pages 203-206. The
Europa Year Book 1989 (pp. 2895-2896) reports that union
activity was repressed until 1985, when a elected civilian
government replaced a military dictatorship. The Country Reports
for 1988, on page 722, states that "workers are protected by
law and practice against antiunion discrimination". The July 1989
Critique, page 203, states that in 1988 there was "general
respect for labour rights" and reports an "absence of current human
rights violations". Reports on the human rights situation in
Uruguay since July 1989 could not be found among the sources
currently available to the Documentation Centre.
