Realising Rights
Framework for Action
Big business, big finance and their political allies have intensified their campaign to undermine and resist efforts by unions to defend and expand fundamental workers’ rights.
The global model of capitalism is driving inequality, creating social unrest and undermining the very basis of democracy.
Decent work deficits exist in varying degrees in most nations throughout global supply chains and for the majority of women and migrants.
Workers’ rights are non-negotiable, and unions everywhere should commit to a national and a global struggle to build a just world.
