Labor Unions Act A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights. Category: Human Rights Strength: Significant Proposed by: Rubina Description: The General Assembly of the United Nations;
1. RESOLVES that all UN member states recognize the fundamental right of everyone to form or join Unions of their choice for the purpose of collective representation of workers, and the right of those Unions to establish and join federations and confederations of Trade Unions, both nationally and internationally.
2. ESTABLISHES the right of all workers in all UN member nations to go on strike and to carry out other industrial actions including, but not limited to, work slowdowns, overtime refusal, work-to-rule and general strikes; a. Employers are not required to pay wages of workers while they are on strike. b. Workers may not be terminated from employment for participating in a legally authorized strike or industrial action.
3. DECLARES that national governments may exempt from the rights granted in clause 2: a. Strikes or other industrial actions not authorized by a union or which have not had the benefit of previous mediation or arbitration procedures; b. Strikes which significantly endanger the health or welfare of the public, such as but not limited to medical and police personnel.
4. NOTES that the extent to which the guarantees provided for in this Resolution shall apply to the armed forces, the police, emergency services, and government employees providing essential public services shall be determined by national laws or regulations.
5. MANDATES that labor disputes involving workers lacking the right to strike under sections 3.b. and 4 of this resolution be settled through binding arbitration administered by an independent and unbiased third party.
6. DECLARES that national governments may require unions to supply fair notice to employers and relevant government agencies in advance of industrial action.
7. AFFIRMS the right of Unions and their national and international organisations to be free from unwanted external influences when drawing up their constitutions and rules, organizing their administration and activities, and formulating their programs.
8. FORBIDS discrimination based on Union-membership where employment is concerned: non-members and members should have equal opportunities in being hired, work assignment, promotion and training regardless of Union-membership.
9. DECLARES that Unions must abide by national law, and that national laws shall not be made to impair the guarantees provided for in this resolution.
