In June 1999, the then secretary-general of the International Labour Orgnisation (ILO), introduced a new and progressive concept; one that not only summarised the challenges and aspirations or workers, but also sparked their imaginations and solidarity with each other worldwide; Decent Work.
Human rights and dignity for all; decent work for all
