Rights and Protections
Everyone has the right to decent and productive work, in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. Unions ensure that, as a worker, your voice is heard, your views are respected and your rights under the law are upheld.
Depending on your age and how long you've been in the job, your rights at work include things like being paid at least the current minimum wage, having a written employment agreement and having sick leave and public holidays.
