Call to Action for Decent Work | print |  email

As part of the Decent Work Decent LIfe campaign, the Call to Action for Decent Work was launched at the ILO forum on a fair globalisation in October 2007, in Lisbon: an internationl petition which urges governments to ratify and implement the ILO’s standards and to put decent work at the heart of their policy-making.

In the following months signatures will be collected on paper and online - the aim is  to reach the biggest number of signatures possible. 

On the World Day for Decent Work (7 October 2008) the Call to Action will be presented to the highest EU political representatives in Brussels. At the end of the year the Call to Action will be presented to development aid donors attending the International Conference on Financing for Development in Doha (29 November- 2 December 2008).
