Is freedom of association and collective bargaining mentioned in their code of conduct and does it approach the level of the ILO standards 87/98?
Definition of Freedom of Association
That workers can associate, and demand respect of their rights and the defence of their interests, without fear of having actions taken against them by the companies.
It also means that their collective actions won‟t be blocked by the government, companies or other unions that don‟t represent them.
Freedom of association also means that workers can decide if they join (or not) specific groups or unions, and that their choice won‟t be a reason for sacking them or a requirement for being hired.
