The members of GENPROM responsible for conducting the research, processing the information and writing the report are Sriani Ameratunga, Sapfo Constantatos, Christine Elstob, Sabrina de Gobbi, Lin Lean Lim, Caroline O’Reilly, Maanic Shergill and Lena Taylor. The GENPROM team wishes to thank all the trade unionists who collaborated on the survey and case studies. We are grateful to the Women’s Committee and the staff of the Department of Equality and Youth of the ICFTU for their support and assistance in organizing the survey and to the IUF for specially arranging to extend the survey to its members. We would like to make special mention of the efforts of Elsa Ramos of the ICFTU and Babro Budin of the IUF. We would also like to acknowledge the active involvement and generous assistance of the ILO Multidisciplinary Teams and Regional and Area Offices in the survey. Finally, we wish to express our gratitude to the ILO colleagues who provided comments and suggestions on the questionnaire and the report, in particular Amrita Sietaram, Robert Kyloh, Satoro Tabusa, Auret van Heerden, Shauna Olney, Pekka Aro and Werner Sengenberger. 9 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The aims and organization of the report This report is part of a Resource Kit for the promotion of gender equality and the protection of vulnerable workers by trade unions. The Resource Kit provides information, guidelines and examples to assist and enhance the efforts of trade unions. The Resource Kit is also intended to improve understanding and appreci- ation of the role of trade unions by individual women and men workers, govern- ments, the social partners and the general public. As part of this resource kit, this report provides the empirical perspective based on a survey and case studies of trade unions. It describes the practical experience of trade unions in promoting gender equality and protecting vulnerable workers within their own internal structures and policies, at the workplace through gender equality bargaining, and in the broader society at local, national and international levels. The report deals with the current position of women in trade unions; the gender equality issues that are of concern to trade unions; the opportunities, prob- lems and constraints they face; the types of measures and operational strategies they have adopted; the factors making for success or failure; and the scope for collaboration or cooperation between trade unions and other social actors. Since union efforts to promote gender equality obviously hinge on freedom of associa- tion, the report also focuses on the impact of globalization and recent changes in the labour market on the ability of unions to organize and represent workers. Information based on actual union experiences and practical lessons learnt provide invaluable insights for the Resource Kit of “good and bad practices”.

  • Contract Interpretation Manual
    CONTRACT INTERPRETATION MANUAL Article 43 SPECIAL LEAVE Interpretation Guidelines This is an example of a non-discretionary leave with clear and objective conditions for all the leaves addressed by this provision. Article 43.01 – Accumulation Effective June 4, 2006, a RFT employee earns special leave credits at the rate of ½ a day every 4 weeks to a maximum entitlement of 20 days x 7.5. Once the bank drops below 20 days, it is replenished on the basis of earning more credits. The normal full day is 7.5 hours. 1. Regular employees who have earned over 20 days of special leave credits as of June 4, 2006 will maintain their existing banks. 2. The new language is effective 1-month post-ratification (i.e. June 4, 2006). The Union agreed to the reduction in maximum credits in order to expand the application of special leave in Article 43.02(C). A RPT employee’s accumulation of special leave credits is prorated (Article 11.03 (B)). However, the use of special leave is not prorated, RPT employees are entitled to use special leave credits at the same rate as RFT employees per working hour of leave from their scheduled hours of work (Royal Columbian Hospital and BCNU, February 28, 1994 (Laing)). The Employer is required to record any special leave hours used within a pay period on the employee’s statement of wages (Article 56.04 (I)). Article 43.02 (B) – Application Marriage Leave and Parental Leave are non-discretionary leaves and the Employer is required to grant the leave on request and provision of proof: 1.

GENERAL OVERVIEW China, as one of the fastest-growing economies and most populous countries, plays a critical role in business, industry and politics. However, many outsiders encounter significant difficulty understanding Chinese labour law and find themselves in challenging and uncomfortable situations. This may be due to the law’s specificity and scope, which forms a labyrinth of interconnected regulations and rules governing minutia ranging from severance to trade unions. Routine tasks in other jurisdictions can be much more dramatic affairs in China. This can be daunting, but our hope is that after reading this article, you will have the tools and foundation to successfully navigate Chinese labour law. 1. INTRODUCTION Labour law generally refers to the rules and regulations governing employment relationships and other social relationships that are closely connected with employment relationships. Chinese labour law applies to all businesses, individual economic organisations, private non-profit entities, etc.

Costs have skyrocketed while wages remain stagnant. Many of the jobs that have returned in the wake of the Great Recession have often offered lower wages and benefits, leaving Americans without college degrees particularly vulnerable. Fissures in the country are more apparent than ever, as access to opportunity is radically different between communities; the wealthiest grow richer while working families find themselves increasingly strapped. As a result of perpetual underinvestment in infrastructure, education, and other domestic priorities, the future for too many Americans looks increasingly grim, unequal, and uncertain. Federal policies passed or implemented in the past year will largely result in expanded inequality, not in rebuilding the middle class. The new tax law, as pushed by the Trump administration and congressional leadership, gives billions of dollars in tax cuts to companies and the wealthiest Americans instead of providing further support to those who need it most. As was true in the 2000s and more recently in states such as Kansas, showering tax giveaways on the wealthiest individuals and corporations does not create jobs or raise wages.1 Rather, when the baseless promises of economic growth do not materialize, the result is lower revenues and, ultimately, major cuts to critical investments in areas such as schools, infrastructure, and public services.
