Globally Improving Workers' Rights

Fair Labor Association

Globally, workers’ rights is a current social concern. All workers should be treated fairly and as equals in the workplace. Employees should not have to worry about their security or heath due to their job. It is important that non-engaged stakeholders adopt the Fair Labor Association's position because they have the power to help make a difference in the aspect of workers’ rights.

Workers’ rights are legal and human rights that are in association with the labor relations between workers and employers.Fair labor includes appropriate work ages, reasonable amount of pay, and recordkeeping.(citations from: http://definitions.uslegal.com/e/employee-rights/ and http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/screen5.asp)
