The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 21
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Informal work is often characterized by poor employment conditions, low wages and lack of protection against non-payment of wages, layoffs without notice or compensation, compulsory overtime, unsafe and unhealthy working conditions, and the absence of social benefits such as health insurance, sick leave, pensions or social security. Because they are generally outside the framework of labour law protection, informal workers have little access to justice and less opportunity to assemble, form or join unions, or bargain for higher wages or better working conditions. Their lack of fundamental rights leaves them with little ability to hold accountable those who have power over them and strips them of the power to change their conditions. States, working with employers, are choosing who is or is not covered by union rights.
