Media training for trade union youth
Media Training for Trade Union Youth Core Group
The media training aimed at helping young trade union leaders in the use of media to better communicate on freedom of association and collective bargaining.
Freedom of Association and the Right to Collective Bargaining are cornerstones of the ILO’s approach to sustainable and inclusive growth through decent work.
Freedom of association refers to the right of workers and employers to create and join organizations of their choice freely and without fear of reprisal or interference.
Collective bargaining refers to all negotiations which take place between an employer, a group of employers or one or more employers’ organizations, on the one hand, and one or more workers’ organizations, on the other for determining working conditions and terms of employment, regulating relations between employers and workers; and regulating relations between employers or their organizations and one or more workers’ organizations.
Freedom of association and collective bargaining are issues that are rich in opportunities to develop messages that convince people to take action. Through the use of strategic communications, trade unions can extend essential rights to more people thereby improving the chances of their members to obtain decent work. Visibility is important because the respect and effective enforcement of these rights largely rest on widespread public support and awareness of their existence.
