Fundamental Rights at Work and International Labour Standards

This important new book offers valuable insight on the application of the ILO's international labor standards by governments, employers, and workers around the world in an accessible, but technically, sound manner. These standards--on collective bargaining, freedom of association, forced and compulsory labor, equality of opportunity and treatment, and protection of children and young people--are closely linked to the ILO's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, 1998. A detailed description of each standard and its principles is discussed, along with specific problems encountered in applying that standard at a national level. The information in this volume offers a more practical and fuller application of fundamental human rights around the globe. The book is a crucial resource for labor lawyers, practitioners, and employers' and workers' organizations.
