Worker's Rights

“In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining…. We demand this fraud be stopped.”

Martin Luther King

Worker’s rights, or labor rights are a collection of human and legal rights regarding the relationship between workers and their employers. While there is no set list of these rights, they include the right to no forced work, the right to no discrimination, the right to fair pay, and the right to safe working conditions. Labor rights issues include child labor, modern-day slavery (labor trafficking), and unsafe working conditions.
