Convention No. 98 (Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining)

Convention No. 98, established by the International Labour Organization (ILO), protects workers' rights to form and join trade unions and to engage in collective bargaining with their employers. This means that workers can organize collectively to negotiate better working conditions, wages, and benefits without facing discrimination or retaliation. The convention promotes fair practices in the workplace, ensuring that the voices of workers are heard and respected in discussions that affect their jobs and livelihoods. It aims to foster a balanced power dynamic between workers and employers, contributing to social justice and economic stability.
