The new standards were established following several years of criticism and pressure from the International Trade Union Confederation and other global unions, and were intended to predicate IFC lending on its borrowers first meeting certain minimum standards, specifically including core labour standards. This Discussion Paper reviews the recent emergence of these standards, and examines two IFC- funded projects in Turkey with a specific focus on a trade union, Petrol-İş that has attempted to enforce the standards in situations where particular employers were deemed to have breached them. The paper considers the extent to which these new IFC standards have expanded the tools available for trade unions, not only for enforcing core labour standards, but also for helping to legitimise and create space for the role of trade unions in the Turkish economy. Following a review of available literature, and detailed reporting of a series of interviews conducted with trade union organisers, the paper concludes that the new IFC performance standards have been a positive development, and have paved the way for new potential channels for defending union organising efforts and rights to collective bargaining. While the Turkish trade unionists that have been the first to use these tools insist that they should not be seen as replacing conventional union organising activities, it is nonetheless clear that the new IFC performance standards represent a key gain for trade unions.

Negotiated between global union federations and the headquarters of transnational corporations (TNCs) these are ‘contracts’ that the latter commit themselves to implement in their global operations, including their subsidiaries and even suppliers. In this paper, we aim to understand the local implementation of IFAs by looking at a main case company and its two suppliers in Turkey.
