Human Right to Employment

Article 23 of United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights deals with your employment:

Article 23.
(1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.

(2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.

(3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.

(4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.


Why am I bringing this up?
We are dealing with Multinational Corporations today. Knowing your rights under your state is nice, but I see clear violation of International Human Rights Law in everything Wall Street and the Capitalists are doing (to us).

Where is justice?
Workers in China and India and Mexico, who stole our jobs, should have OUR PAY SCALE (#2 & 3) and be able to join the VERY SAME UNIONS (#4) as not only their right to employment, but also as our right to protect ourselves from unemployment (#1-4).

Who knew we had a RIGHT to protect our employment this way internationally?
See, you need to know ALL YOUR RIGHTS!
