- W3199218986 abstract "In order to increase the recognition of human rights at work, the ILO, and more recently, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) have propounded four fundamental labor rights as human rights. These core labor rights are freedom of association and the right to organise, freedom from forced labor and the abolition of forced labor, freedom from discrimination and equal remuneration, and a minimum age for employment and the elimination of child labor. The process that led to these four rights being elevated above other rights at work was not based on the merit of the rights protected, but on political expediency. In criticising the process of elevating the four core labor rights, Alston and Heenan note that 'many labor rights activists (and scholars) involved in the core standards' debate have been content to justify core standards by reference to human rights norms contained in various international texts including the UN's International Human Rights Covenants, while generally failing to comment on the highly selective nature of this grounding or the fact that various clearly-recognised human rights are simply omitted from the list of what is now deemed fundamental or core'. It is beyond this paper to analyse in detail the merits or otherwise of the approach of identifying core labor rights. It is submitted that workers' right to safety and health is equally as important as the existing four core labor rights and should be included expressly as a core labor right. In order to demonstrate that workers' right to safety and health should be elevated to the core labor rights this paper will first analyse the four core labor rights and demonstrate that OHS is essential if these rights are to be realised. The rights of freedom of association, freedom from forced labor, freedom from discrimination and abolition of child labor all seek to improve employees' working conditions. Second this paper will analyse how international treaties and states have recognised the importance of workers' safety and health through ratifying conventions and enacting domestic laws. Thirdly this paper will spend considerable time demonstrating that workers' right to safety and health can e derived from existing human rights law. Ultimately this paper concludes that the importance of workers' safety and health and the existing protection under human rights law provides a strong basis for arguing that workers' right to safety and health should be included in the four core labor rights." @default.
