Reuters AlertNet - Workplace discrimination still rampant, ILO says Some 158 of the agency's 175 member states have ratified its 1958 convention protecting workers from exclusion or preference on grounds of race, colour, religion and political opinion.
But the United States, China, and Japan, as well as Singapore and Thailand are among states yet to sign up.
The ILO's convention of 1951 on equal pay for equal work for men and women has been ratified by 160 states, again excluding the United States as well as Bahrain, Myanmar and Qatar.
Press Release (ILO/03/19): ILO launches first global report on discrimination at work While the most blatant forms of discrimination at work may have faded, many remain a persistent and daily part of the workplace or are taking on new, more subtle forms that are cause for growing concern, according to a new study by the International Labour Office (ILO).------------------------------------------- posted 10:04 AM :: reference link ::
