Kurzbeschreibung: The purpose of this paper is to set out the implications that the UN Framework for Business and Human Rights and the Guiding Principles on Business and Human rights have for business enterprises concerning the human rights of workers to form or join trade unions and to bargain collectively over the conditions under which they perform work. Because these human rights apply to persons that perform work, they are applicable to all economic activities and, hence, to all business enterprises. As Global Unions and workers’ rights organisations, we expect business enterprises to apply the Guiding Principles, putting in place policies and due diligence processes that facilitate the avoidance of any adverse human rights impacts which their decisions and activities may have on workers seeking to form or join trade unions or to bargain collectively. We also expect that business enterprises remediate their adverse impacts on these human rights.
