Occupational health 2012, para. 28

Paragraph
Paragraph text
For example, processes surrounding the negotiation of free trade agreements have lacked transparency and have not involved the participation of affected communities. As discussed earlier, the proliferation of free trade agreements is an element of globalization, which directly impacts the occupational health of workers. The right to occupational health requires States to incorporate workers' views and experiential knowledge into processes surrounding the negotiations of free trade agreements. Additionally, transparency requires States to make publicly available and accessible all draft agreements, negotiation proposals, minutes from negotiation meetings, and all other relevant information.
