My latest blog for OnLabor summarizing the ICJ's advisory opinion on the right to strike and its importance for workers and union (and in only 1200 words!). Hope you find this to be a useful summary of the opinion. A longer piece forthcoming... onlabor.org/the-icj-upholds-…

Today, the @ICJ_org made a historic ruling: according to the court, the right to strike is LEGALLY PROTECTED under the @ilo's Convention 87 on Freedom of Assembly. This means that workers around the globe will legally have the right to strike and make their voices heard 🗣️

Thanks to Hart Publishing for supporting this project.

🚨 New Book Alert 🚨 As a follow up to the Right to Strike in International Law, ILAW is happy to announce the upcoming publication, in April, of a new, open access book -- the Right to Strike Reimagined (@hartpublishing ). Edited by Jeffrey Vogt, Tonia Novitz and Judy Fudge, and with the excellent contributions of many leading scholars and practitioners in labour law the book argues for conceptual and/or regulatory reforms to restore the ability of workers and communities to employ the right to strike according to its original aims – democratisation (in the workplace and society), redistribution (of resources and power), and collective liberation. Information on the contents/contributors and how to access the book in April, or to pre-order physical copies, is below. bloomsbury.com/us/right-to-s…

Felicidades al @Ccajar por su diligente trabajo para lograr esta importante fallo en el caso del asesinato del líder sindical Jesús Ramiro Zapata a manos de los paramilitares. Cabe destacar la conclusión del tribunal de que el Estado incumplió su obligación de garantizar el derecho a condiciones de trabajo justas, equitativas y satisfactorias que aseguren la seguridad, la salud y la higiene de los trabajadores, en la medida en que no cumplió con su deber de reubicar al Sr. Zapata en un lugar de trabajo que no aumentara su riesgo personal, que no lo expusiera a riesgos sustanciales y que le permitiera desempeñar sus funciones adecuadamente. eltiempo.com/justicia/paz-y-…
