Core Labor Standards

Core Labor Standards (or CLS) are the baseline standards for labor set up by the International Labor Organization (ILO). The baseline standards include: freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining; the elimination of forced and compulsory labor; the abolition of child labor; the elimination of discrimination in the workplace, and limits to excessive hours of work.^[1] Other standards have been sought by the ILO to improve worker conditions, but these have been the central few that are widely accepted as customary international law.
