Rights For Homeworkers

EDM number 1123 in 2007-08, proposed by John Battle on 05/03/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Employment and Human rights.

That this House believes that homeworkers deserve equal treatment with those employed in factories, offices or other places of work; is concerned that homeworkers are currently vulnerable to exploitation as their rights are unclear under existing English law; believes that the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention 177 on Homework provides a positive framework for delivering decent rights and protections to homeworkers; and calls upon the Government to take all necessary steps to make good its intention, stated in 1997, to ratify ILO Convention 177.

This motion has been signed by a total of 119 MPs.
