Workers’ Rights

Workers’ rights refer to the legal, social, and ethical standards that protect the rights of individuals in the workplace. This includes the right to fair wages, safe working conditions, the right to organize or join trade unions, and protection against discrimination and harassment. Workers’ rights aim to ensure that employees can negotiate their terms of employment, voice grievances, and receive benefits such as health care, overtime pay, and breaks without fear of retaliation. The movement for workers’ rights advocates for both individual and collective empowerment to improve labor conditions, promote social justice, and uphold human dignity in the workplace.
