• W2104150094 abstract "The objective of this research was to develop an instrument for fair labour standards that thepartner organizations (JBCs) of Woord en Daad can apply to the firms they negotiate with inorder to find a job or internship for their students. The instrument should be applicable todifferent types of companies in different countries. It will have the character of a minimumstandard, including only those elements that are absolutely crucial for fair labour conditions.The reason for the development of this instrument, is that Woord en Daad receives everyfour year (last time was in 2007) a subsidy (five million euros) from the Dutch government.They need to give account about, amongst other things, the percentage of students of theirpartner organizations that finds an internship or job at a company with ‘fair’ labour standards.First, five international models of labour standards have been analyzed. The models werefrom the following organizations: the International Labour Organization (ILO), the UnitedNations Global Compact, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD), the Fair Labor Association (FLA), and Social Accountability International (SAI).These models are all based on the four fundamental rights of the ILO and are generallyapplicable. This resulted in a list of seven labour standards and accompanying definitions.Secondly, practical experiences were examined from the Fair Labor Association (FLA), theFairtrade Labelling Organizations (FLO) International, the Centre for Research onMultinational Corporations (SOMO), and the Job and Business Centers (JBCs). This resultedin two additional labour standards and directions for the design of the instrument. After thesesteps, a preliminary scorecard has been created and also a questionnaire has been createdfor the JBCs and for Woord en Daad. The preliminary scorecard has been adjusted based onthe feedback from these two groups. This resulted in the pilot fair labour scorecard. The pilotfair labour scorecard has been presented to an expert and has been tested during a field testexecuted by four JBCs. New adjustments were made and this resulted in the final fair labourscorecard and a guideline to ensure the right use of the instrument.This report also deals with the implementation of the scorecard. There appeared to be twoimplementation levels: first of all the implementation of Woord en Daad, and secondly theimplementation or monitoring done by the JBCs. It is expected that the first-levelimplementation will not lead to any problems. In the second-level implementation, however,there is one big problem: the companies have absolutely no interest in the inspection, andthis might cause unwillingness to cooperate. This unwillingness can be reduced or eliminatedby emphasizing that: (1) the JBC is an independent and local organization; (2) the JBC doesnot get paid for the inspection; (3) under no circumstances the JBC will penalize thecompany; (4) the students are valuable: the training they receive is tailored to the demand ofthe companies. If there is an overall need for certain skills, these skills will be taught.The scorecard is a well-constructed instrument that complies with the criteria of legitimacy,rigor, and accountability. However, it is only an instrument to collect the level of labourstandards and has no value on itself. Value can be created by using the data collected withthe scorecard as a starting point for further action. Recommendations are therefore made toincrease the value of the fair labour scorecard. Woord en Daad should not only use the datacollected to calculate the average number of students that go to companies with fair labourconditions, they should also analyse data by labour standard. The content of the scorecardshould be taught to the students during their training. A third recommendation is to develop atraining program for the companies with mediocre labour standards in order to make themimprove their labour standards until these are fair. Further, Woord en Daad and the JBCsshould use the fact that they use a fair labour scorecard, to demonstrate their concern forgood labour conditions in the external communication in order to keep current donors and toattract new donors. The last recommendation is to establish sector-specific health and safetystandards." @default.
