Very often media present reports on working conditions in many parts of the world. Thanks to trade unionism working conditions like forced labour or child labour have been overcome in many European and other countries.
But publications of international trade union organizations make clear that today working conditions in many countries can still be considered as violations of human rights.

Besides publications of international trade union organizations we present further publications of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung.
At the present we concentrate on child labour as an example for working conditions. Further informations can be found in the collection of press-releases.
