	Labour Unions and the Right to Collectively Demand Rights
		Labour unions are said to be a manifestation of such collective strength.
		Since the Dergue, 'mass organizations' such as labour unions, urban dwellers associations, youth associations, women's associations, etc, started being organized to be used as additional instruments of suppression by the government rather than to benefit their membership.
		The labour organizations in the country therefore are not particularly noted for their fight for the rights of their members.

	Canadian Labor Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was intended to be the Canadian equivalent of the British Labour Party, and endorsed a variety of reformist labour initiatives.

		The party may, however, be regarded as a prototype for later pan-Canadian labour parties such as the CCF and the New Democratic Party.

		The International Labour Organization (ILO) was established by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 as an autonomous institution associated with the League of Nations.
		In addition to standards protecting and improving labour and working conditions, there are core standards to guarantee basic human rights, in particular freedom of association and collective bargaining, the abolition of forced labour and child labour, and elimination of discrimination in employment.
		In selecting such organizations for development cooperation, preference is usually given to those with a relatively long experience in the geographic area or thematic field for which support is sought, and to those that enjoy the trust of identified beneficiaries and can relate to other social actors, including the government and/or local authorities.
