The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 17
Párrafo
Paragraph text
At the same time, the global attack on labour rights has made it disturbingly clear that the old ways of defending workers' rights are no longer working. Our world and its globalized economy are changing at lightning pace, and it is critical that the tools we use to protect labour rights adapt just as quickly. A first step towards that goal is to obliterate the antiquated and artificial distinction between labour rights and human rights generally. Labour rights are human rights, and the ability to exercise those rights in the workplace is a prerequisite for workers to enjoy a broad range of other rights, whether economic, social, cultural, political or otherwise.
