[Book] The social responsibilities of business and workers’ rights


 
Corporate social responsibility is useful if it provides 
the space for workers to protect their own interests – and 
damaging if it tries to fill that space. Respect for 
basic rights, union recognition, collective bargaining 
and social dialogue, including at the international level, 
are key ingredients of industrial democracy and 
social responsibility.
