ILO Convention No. 98

ILO Convention No. 98, adopted in 1949 by the International Labour Organization, protects workers' rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining. It ensures that workers can form trade unions without interference from employers or governments. The convention promotes fair negotiations over working conditions, wages, and other employment terms, fostering a balanced relationship between labor and management. By supporting the right to collective action, it aims to enhance workers' rights and improve their working conditions, contributing to social justice and economic stability. Member countries are encouraged to implement these rights in their national laws.
