World Day for Decent Work
October 7 · Level 7 · #853 of 2238
This is a day for workers and trade unions around the world. It reminds us that a job should bring more than a paycheck: it should also mean safety, fair pay and respect.
How it is celebrated: unions hold rallies, panel talks and awareness campaigns, and people discuss workplace safety, wages and workers' rights.
The day was first marked in 2008, launched by the International Trade Union Confederation. The idea of decent work also sits at the heart of the eighth UN Sustainable Development Goal.
