Paragraph
Paragraph text
Having recognized the important role of trade unions, States parties to trade agreements have begun to include provisions protecting the rights of migrants to unionize and bargain collectively. In some cases, this has improved domestic protections for organized labour. In 2006, as a result of pre-ratification pressure stemming from its trade agreement with the United States, Oman granted workers the right to unionize.
Legal status
