Background paper: Celebration of the 60th anniversary of Convention No. 98: The right to organize and collective bargaining in the twenty-first century

On 1 July 1949 the International Labour Conference adopted Convention No. 98 in San Francisco. After 60 years of its existence, it is most appropriate for the Bureau of Workers’ Activities and the Workers’ group to celebrate the anniversary of a Convention which not only establishes the protection of the right to organize but also defines its essence and raison d’être – collective bargaining.
