Workers’ Rights

Workers’ rights refer to the legal, social, and economic entitlements that apply to individuals engaged in work. These rights aim to ensure fair treatment, safe working conditions, equitable compensation, and protection against discrimination and unfair labor practices. Key aspects of workers’ rights include the right to organize and join trade unions, the right to collective bargaining, the right to a safe and healthy workplace, the right to fair wage and overtime pay, and protection against unjust dismissal. Workers’ rights are often enshrined in labor laws and international conventions, emphasizing the importance of dignity, respect, and equality in the workplace. The movement for workers’ rights advocates for improving conditions, addressing exploitation, and fostering a balance of power between employers and employees.
