Abstract

Work is a human and social activity that requires minimum conditions to safeguard the integrity of workers based on their intrinsic dignity. We know these conditions as Human Rights, which, when guaranteed in workplaces, will lead us to what is known as Decent Work. There are five main rights that employers must guarantee, regardless of the line of business or sector, starting with the eradication of child labor, forced labor, and discrimination, in addition to ensuring the safety and health of workers, guaranteeing their right to bargain collectively. The UN and the ILO highlight the importance of these rights with very clear statutes that cover all member countries, including Mexico. However, the daily situation tells us of a gap between what should be and the reality of the workers. Through a reflective analysis with figures, this contrast is shown in the workers of Mexico, and in particular, of Jalisco.
