Organizing for social justice (Global report under the follow-up to the ILO Declaration on fundamental principles and rights at work. Report of the Director-General, 2004)

Freedom of association, and the recognition of the right to bargain collectively, are not only fundamental human rights at work, but also vital elements of economic, social and political processes. Organizing for social justice takes account of the current trends in exercising these rights as well as the significant challenges that still remain in many parts of the world, particularly in the today’s global economy.
