Outline of Conference

The effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining is among the ILO’s fundamental principles and rights at work. However, there are circumstances where workers in non-standard employment do not effectively enjoy such right due to legal impediments and the dominant system of collective bargaining. In Korea, for example, workers of triangular employment relationship or own-account workers have not fully enjoyed the right to collective bargaining and strike vis-à-vis the principal company or user-employer.

This conference explores how to facilitate meaningful collective bargaining with real employers, and promote the collective labour rights for all workers regardless of their employment status.
