National Trade Union Center
Organizers within trade unions have sought to increase the bargaining power of workers in regards to collective bargaining by acting in collaboration with other trade unions. Multi-union organizing can take place on an informal basis, or on a more formal basis via an umbrella organization comprising multiple trade unions. Such umbrella organizations may be referred to as a trade union federation, trade union confederation, or trade union centre.

Imprisonment
Imprisonment or incarceration is the restraint of a person's liberty for any cause whatsoever, whether by authority of the government, or by a person acting without such authority. In the latter case it is considered " false imprisonment". Imprisonment does not necessarily imply a place of confinement with bolts and bars, but may be exercised by any use or display of force (such as placing one in handcuffs), lawfully or unlawfully, wherever displayed, even in the open street. People become prisoners, wherever they may be, by the mere word or touch of a duly authorized officer directed to that end. Usually, however, imprisonment is understood to imply actual confinement against one's will in a prison employed for the purpose according to the provisions of the law. Generally gender imbalances occur in imprisonment rates, with incarceration of males proportionately more likely than incarceration of females. History Africa Before colonisation, imprisonment was used in sub-Saharan ...

Tatil-i Eşgaal Kanunu The first of the important events in the Ottoman Empire in 1908 was the proclamation of the second constitutional era through Young Turk Revolution, and the second was the widespread strikes in the months following the proclamation. The strikes in Constantinople and Thrace began in August, and in September and October of 1908 reached large dimensions and spread to Smyrna and Adrianople. The strikes started and spread as a result of not meeting the demands for improvement of working conditions. The fact that the strikes started right after the proclamation of the second constitution were the result of the Young Turks unfulfilled promises to the workers about improvement of working conditions before the revolution. Workers in many eyalets left their jobs. The Second Constitutional government went against the strikes with the poli ...
