 Millions of workers in the global economy have been disenfranchised from their rights, either tacitly or deliberately by governments, exacerbating “global inequality, poverty, violence and child and forced labor,” according to Maina Kiai (right), United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of assembly and of association, in a frank report presented last week to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Union leaders and other human rights activists joined Kiai in discussing challenges workers face around the world in exercising their freedom to form unions and bargain collectively.
