The Howard Government will go on trial next week at the International Labour Organisation over the alleged breach of fundamental human rights for working Australians.
The case is expected to begin in the next few days over whether Howard Government Workplace Relations and Building Industry laws are a breach of fundamental human rights including the right of employees to join a union and the right to bargain collectively.
The Federal Government will be forced to defend itself in the case which is being heard by the ILO's Committee on the Application of Standards. This ILO Committee is composed of a panel of international legal experts and is currently chaired by the government of Spain.
In hearing the case, the ILO's Committee on the Application of Standards will question Howard Government representatives about the legal and practical aspects of its adherence to international labour rights conventions in particular, The Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, number 98.
