What has the Universal Declaration of Human Rights meant for worker rights?

”The UDHR is the heart and soul of the United Nations”The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is clear that "all organs of society" need to respect human rights, and Eleanor Roosevelt spoke about making these rights a reality "on the farm, in the factory and in the office".  As we mark 75 years of the UDHR, how has this foundation of human rights guided and improved the fulfilment of worker rights?In this episode of Voices, IHRB’s CEO John Morrison sits down with Sharan Burrow, former General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation, to get a trade unionist perspective on the UDHR’s legacy to improve conditions for workers, in particular for women and marginalised groups, and how collective bargaining and freedom of association are still critical.
