Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work

The Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work refer to a set of internationally recognized standards that ensure fair treatment in the workplace. These principles include the right to freely choose one’s job, the right to fair and safe working conditions, the prohibition of child and forced labor, and the right to freedom of association, like joining unions. These principles aim to protect workers’ dignity and promote equality, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to work without discrimination, coercion, or exploitation. They are essential for fostering decent work environments globally.
