The International Labour Organisation (ILO) adopted Convention 98 on the 1st
July 1949. 60 years later to the day, this IER event will discuss why
Convention 98 on the Right to Organise and to Collective Bargaining remains
relevant to UK workers: the proportion of the British workforce covered by
collective bargaining has dwindled to less than a third while the gap
between the richest and the poorest has grown; anti trade union laws
continue to restrain trade union activity while weaknesses in our
recognition procedures deny trade unions a voice at work; and recent
developments in Europe – including decisions of the European Court of
Justice – threaten to further undermine the terms and conditions of UK
workers unless we rebuild and re-instate the universal coverage of
collective bargaining in the UK. 

 

This evening lecture will address: 

* the origins of Convention 98 and its close relationship with Convention 87
on Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise

* a critical analysis of the UK’s attitude to ILO Conventions and related
international standards  

* The future relevance of Convention 98 in rebuilding collective bargaining
in the UK.
