International co-operative movement adopts declaration on decent work

"International co-op movement adopts declaration on decent work", 6 December 2018

The International Co-operative Alliance has committed to promoting a decent working environment and zero tolerance for harassment.

Its members adopted the Declaration on Decent Work and Against Harassment unanimously at their General Assembly in Buenos Aires, Argentina...

The declaration defends the basic principles of dignity and equality in the new and emerging forms of employment; prohibits within its sphere of influence all sexual harassment; and strongly opposes every other kind of workplace misconduct, including intimidation, oppression and discrimination, as well as any abuse of power.

...“We are one of the first international organisations saying formally and strongly that a decent working environment is fundamental in our society and that there is no room for any form of harassment in our organisations,” said ICA president Ariel Guarco.
