The
positive impact of trade unions on economic development, and evidence indicating their ability to
reduce discrimination + inequality, are among the findings of a new
World Bank report:
'Unions and Collective Bargaining'.
International Confederation of Free Trade Unions General Secretary
Guy Ryder cautioned however, "the Bank must now
translate these important findings into policy, which may involve a
significant shift in its organisational culture. In contrast to worker-friendly statements at the global level,
country-level Bank staff still routinely advise governments to, in effect, violate core labour standards by making access to unionisation and collective bargaining more difficult."
