Number of these cases are 429, 174 and 39 respectively. In comparison to last year, the number of cases has increased by a small amount, but the number of single protest events has decreased by 10%.

Labor Studies Group (LSG) was established in September 2014 as a result of a series of meetings of academics, researchers, and trade union experts in order to work in coordination.

LSG aims to institutionalize a platform for researchers, academics, and journalists who want to support the labor movement; so that they can work in an organized way and put out qualified and effective works. LSG treats different subjects of the labor movement equally and seeks to provide material support for the movement. LSG aims to increase the visibility of the working class and workers’ struggles and improve the capacity of trade unions to develop policies based on data.

LSG is open for everyone who shares these objectives and principles.
