My mandate deals with the systemic challenge of fostering human rights respecting corporate cultures and practices, and the need for effective remedy where harm occurs, concerning not only the work-place but also communities and society at large. Permit me to outline the mandate briefly, and then elaborate on two of its core features that may be of particular interest to you: human rights due diligence and company-level grievance mechanisms, both serving the corporate responsibility to respect human rights…I noted at the outset that I look to the ILO for guidance on labor rights. One area where further guidance would be helpful is what has come to be known as “precarious work”—the growth in part-time and contract-based work, and its possible implications for workers’ rights.
