The Future of Workplace Health and Safety as a Fundamental Human Right

The future of worker health and safety as a fundamental human right is dependent upon revitalizing labor rights in the working environment.

What is needed is a foundational dialog on the boundaries of labor rights as they relate to the working environment because the current international labor and human rights jurisprudence is lacking. --From author's conclusion
