Workers Rights

Adopted in 1998, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work is an expression of commitment by governments, employers' and workers' organizations to uphold basic human values - values that are vital to our social and economic lives.
The Declaration covers four areas:
Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining;
The elimination of forced and compulsory labour;
The abolition of child labour, and;
The elimination of discrimination in the workplace.
