                  INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANIZATION

                        TRIPARTITE DECLARATION
                OF PRINCIPLES CONCERNING MULTINATIONAL
                    ENTERPRISES AND SOCIAL POLICY

                         (Geneva, 16.XI.1977)

                 (As amended at the Governing Body`s
          of the ILO 279th Session (Geneva, November 2000))

     The Governing Body of the International Labour Office;
     Recalling that  the  International  Labour  Organization for many
years has been involved with certain  social  issues  related  to  the
activities of multinational enterprises;
     Noting in particular that various Industrial Committees, Regional
Conferences,   and  the  International  Labour  Conference  since  the
mid-1960s have requested appropriate action by the Governing  Body  in
the field of multinational enterprises and social policy;
     Having been informed of the  activities  of  other  international
bodies,  in particular the UN Commission on Transnational Corporations
and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD);
     Considering that  the ILO,  with its unique tripartite structure,
its competence,  and its long-standing experience in the social field,
has  an essential role to play in evolving principles for the guidance
of   governments,   workers`   and   employers`   organizations,   and
multinational enterprises themselves;
     Recalling that it convened a Tripartite Meeting of Experts on the
Relationship  between  Multinational  Enterprises and Social Policy in
1972,  which recommended an ILO programme of research and study, and a
Tripartite  Advisory  Meeting  on  the  Relationship  of Multinational
Enterprises and Social Policy in 1976 for the purpose of reviewing the
ILO programme of research and suggesting appropriate ILO action in the
social and labour field;
     Bearing in   mind  the  deliberations  of  the  World  Employment
Conference;
     Having thereafter  decided  to  establish  a  tripartite group to
prepare a Draft Tripartite Declaration of Principles covering  all  of
the  areas  of  ILO  concern which relate to the social aspects of the
activities of multinational enterprises, including employment creation
in  the  developing  countries,  all  the  while  bearing  in mind the
recommendations made by the Tripartite Advisory Meeting held in 1976;
     Having also  decided to reconvene the Tripartite Advisory Meeting
to consider the Draft Declaration of Principles  as  prepared  by  the
tripartite group;
     Having considered  the  Report  and  the  Draft  Declaration   of
Principles  submitted  to  it  by  the  reconvened Tripartite Advisory
Meeting;
     Hereby approves  the  following Declaration which may be cited as
the Tripartite  Declaration  of  Principles  concerning  Multinational
Enterprises  and  Social Policy,  adopted by the Governing Body of the
International Labour Office, and invites governments of States Members
of  the  ILO,  the employers` and workers` organizations concerned and
the  multinational  enterprises  operating  in  their  territories  to
observe the principles embodied therein.
     1. Multinational  enterprises  play  an  important  part  in  the
economies  of  most countries and in international economic relations.
This is of increasing interest to governments as well as to  employers
and workers and their respective organizations.  Through international
direct  investment  and  other  means  such  enterprises   can   bring
substantial benefits to home and host countries by contributing to the
more efficient utilization of capital,  technology and labour.  Within
the framework of development policies established by governments, they
can also make an important contribution to the promotion  of  economic
and  social  welfare;  to  the improvement of living standards and the
satisfaction  of  basic  needs;  to   the   creation   of   employment
opportunities,  both directly and indirectly;  and to the enjoyment of
basic human rights,  including freedom of association,  throughout the
world.   On  the  other  hand,  the  advances  made  by  multinational
enterprises  in  organizing  their  operations  beyond  the   national
framework may lead to abuse of concentrations of economic power and to
conflicts with national policy objectives and with the interest of the
workers.  In addition, the complexity of multinational enterprises and
the  difficulty  of  clearly  perceiving  their  diverse   structures,
operations  and  policies sometimes give rise to concern either in the
home or in the host countries, or in both <1>.
     --------------------------------
     <1> Paragraphs 1 - 7,  8,  10, 25, 26, and 52 (formerly paragraph
51)  have  been  the subject of interpretation under the Procedure for
the  examination  of  disputes  concerning  the  application  of   the
Tripartite   Declaration   of   Principles   concerning  Multinational
Enterprises and Social Policy. Copies of interpretations are available
upon  request  to  the  Bureau of Multinational Enterprise Activities,
International Labour Office,  4,  route des Morillons,  CH-1211 Geneva
22, Switzerland, or at http://www.ilo.org.

     2. The  aim  of  this  Tripartite Declaration of Principles is to
encourage the positive contribution  which  multinational  enterprises
can  make  to economic and social progress and to minimize and resolve
the difficulties to which their  various  operations  may  give  rise,
taking  into  account  the  United  Nations resolutions advocating the
establishment of a New International Economic Order.
     3. This  aim  will be furthered by appropriate laws and policies,
measures and actions adopted by the  governments  and  by  cooperation
among the governments and the employers` and workers` organizations of
all countries.
     4. The  principles  set  out in this Declaration are commended to
the governments, the employers` and workers` organizations of home and
host countries and to the multinational enterprises themselves.
     5. These principles are intended to guide  the  governments,  the
employers`   and   workers`   organizations   and   the  multinational
enterprises in taking such measures  and  actions  and  adopting  such
social policies,  including those based on the principles laid down in
the Constitution and the relevant Conventions and  Recommendations  of
the ILO, as would further social progress.
     6. To serve its purpose  this  Declaration  does  not  require  a
precise legal definition of multinational enterprises;  this paragraph
is designed to facilitate the understanding of the Declaration and not
to  provide  such  a  definition.  Multinational  enterprises  include
enterprises,  whether they are of public,  mixed or private ownership,
which  own  or  control  production,  distribution,  services or other
facilities outside the country in which they are based.  The degree of
autonomy  of  entities within multinational enterprises in relation to
each  other  varies  widely  from  one  such  enterprise  to  another,
depending  on  the nature of the links between such entities and their
fields of activity and having regard to the  great  diversity  in  the
form  of  ownership,  in  the size,  in the nature and location of the
operations of the enterprises concerned.  Unless otherwise  specified,
the  term  "multinational  enterprise"  is used in this Declaration to
designate the various entities (parent companies or local entities  or
both  or the organization as a whole) according to the distribution of
responsibilities  among  them,  in  the  expectation  that  they  will
cooperate  and  provide  assistance  to  one  another  as necessary to
facilitate observance of the principles laid down in the Declaration.
     7. This   Declaration  sets  out  principles  in  the  fields  of
employment,  training,  conditions of work  and  life  and  industrial
relations which governments, employers` and workers` organizations and
multinational enterprises are recommended to observe  on  a  voluntary
basis;  its provisions shall not limit or otherwise affect obligations
arising out of ratification of any ILO Convention.

                           GENERAL POLICIES

     8. All the parties concerned by this Declaration  should  respect
the   sovereign   rights   of  States,  obey  the  national  laws  and
regulations,  give due consideration to local  practices  and  respect
relevant  international  standards.  They should respect the Universal
Declaration  of  Human  Rights  and  the  corresponding  International
Covenants  adopted  by  the  General Assembly of the United Nations as
well as the Constitution of the International Labour Organization  and
its   principles   according   to  which  freedom  of  expression  and
association  are  essential  to  sustained   progress.   They   should
contribute  to  the  realization of the ILO Declaration on Fundamental
Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-up, adopted in 1998. They
should also honour commitments which they have freely entered into, in
conformity  with  the  national   law   and   accepted   international
obligations.
     9. Governments which have not yet ratified Conventions  Nos.  87,
98,  111,  122,  138  and  182  are urged to do so and in any event to
apply,  to  the  greatest  extent  possible,  through  their  national
policies,  the principles embodied therein and in Recommendations Nos.
111, 119, 122, 146 and 190 <2>. Without prejudice to the obligation of
governments  to ensure compliance with Conventions they have ratified,
in countries in which the Conventions  and  Recommendations  cited  in
this paragraph are not complied with, all parties should refer to them
for guidance in their social policy.
     --------------------------------
     <2> Convention (No.  87) concerning Freedom  of  Association  and
Protection  of the Right to Organise;  Convention (No.  98) concerning
the Application of the Principles of the  Right  to  Organise  and  to
Bargain Collectively;  Convention (No.  111) concerning Discrimination
in  Respect  of  Employment  and  Occupation;  Convention  (No.   122)
concerning Employment Policy;  Convention (No. 138) concerning Minimum
Age for Admission to Employment;  Convention (No.  182) concerning the
Prohibition  and  Immediate  Action  for  the Elimination of the Worst
Forms  of  Child   Labour;   Recommendation   (No.   111)   concerning
Discrimination in Respect of Employment and Occupation; Recommendation
(No.  119) concerning Termination of Employment at the  Initiative  of
the Employer;  Recommendation (No.  122) concerning Employment Policy;
Recommendation (No.  146) concerning  Minimum  Age  for  Admission  to
Employment;  Recommendation  (No.  190) concerning the Prohibition and
Immediate Action for the Elimination  of  the  Worst  Forms  of  Child
Labour.

     10. Multinational  enterprises  should  take  fully  into account
established general policy objectives of the countries in  which  they
operate.  Their  activities  should be in harmony with the development
priorities and social aims and structure of the country in which  they
operate.   To  this  effect,  consultations  should  be  held  between
multinational enterprises,  the government and,  wherever appropriate,
the national employers` and workers` organizations concerned.
     11. The principles laid down in this Declaration do  not  aim  at
introducing   or   maintaining   inequalities   of  treatment  between
multinational and national enterprises. They reflect good practice for
all.  Multinational and national enterprises,  wherever the principles
of this Declaration are relevant to both,  should be  subject  to  the
same  expectations  in  respect  of their conduct in general and their
social practices in particular.
     12. Governments  of  home  countries  should  promote good social
practice in accordance with this  Declaration  of  Principles,  having
regard to the social and labour law, regulations and practices in host
countries as well as to relevant international  standards.  Both  host
and  home country governments should be prepared to have consultations
with each other,  whenever the  need  arises,  on  the  initiative  of
either.

                              EMPLOYMENT

                         Employment promotion

     13. With  a  view to stimulating economic growth and development,
raising living standards, meeting manpower requirements and overcoming
unemployment  and  underemployment,  governments  should  declare  and
pursue,  as a major goal,  an active policy designed to promote  full,
productive and freely chosen employment <3>.
     --------------------------------
     <3> Convention (No.  122) and Recommendation (No. 122) concerning
Employment Policy.

     14. This is particularly important in the case  of  host  country
governments  in  developing  areas  of the world where the problems of
unemployment and underemployment are at their most  serious.  In  this
connection,  the  general  conclusions adopted by the Tripartite World
Conference on Employment,  Income Distribution and Social Progress and
the  International  Division  of Labour (Geneva,  June 1976) should be
kept in mind <4>.
     --------------------------------
     <4> ILO, World Employment Conference, Geneva, 4 - 17 June 1976.

     15. Paragraphs 13 and 14 above  establish  the  framework  within
which  due attention should be paid,  in both home and host countries,
to the employment impact of multinational enterprises.
     16. Multinational  enterprises,  particularly  when  operating in
developing  countries,  should  endeavour   to   increase   employment
opportunities  and  standards,  taking  into  account  the  employment
policies and objectives of the governments,  as well  as  security  of
employment and the long-term development of the enterprise.
     17. Before starting operations, multinational enterprises should,
wherever  appropriate,  consult  the  competent  authorities  and  the
national employers` and workers` organizations in order to keep  their
manpower plans, as far as practicable, in harmony with national social
development policies.  Such consultation,  as in the case of  national
enterprises, should continue between the multinational enterprises and
all parties concerned, including the workers` organizations.
     18. Multinational   enterprises   should  give  priority  to  the
employment,  occupational development,  promotion and  advancement  of
nationals  of  the  host  country  at  all  levels in cooperation,  as
appropriate,  with representatives of the workers employed by them  or
of the organizations of these workers and governmental authorities.
     19. Multinational  enterprises,  when  investing  in   developing
countries,  should have regard to the importance of using technologies
which generate employment, both directly and indirectly. To the extent
permitted  by  the nature of the process and the conditions prevailing
in the economic sector concerned,  they should adapt  technologies  to
the needs and characteristics of the host countries. They should also,
where possible, take part in the development of appropriate technology
in host countries.
     20. To promote employment in developing countries, in the context
of  an  expanding world economy,  multinational enterprises,  wherever
practicable,  should give consideration to the conclusion of contracts
with  national enterprises for the manufacture of parts and equipment,
to the use of local raw materials and to the progressive promotion  of
the local processing of raw materials. Such arrangements should not be
used  by  multinational  enterprises  to  avoid  the  responsibilities
embodied in the principles of this Declaration.

                Equality of opportunity and treatment

     21. All  governments  should  pursue policies designed to promote
equality of opportunity and treatment in employment,  with a  view  to
eliminating any discrimination based on race,  colour,  sex, religion,
political opinion, national extraction or social origin <5>.
     --------------------------------
     <5> Convention (No.  111) and Recommendation (No. 111) concerning
Discrimination  in  Respect  of Employment and Occupation;  Convention
(No.  100) and Recommendation (No.  90) concerning Equal  Remuneration
for Men and Women Workers for Work of Equal Value.

     22. Multinational  enterprises  should  be guided by this general
principle  throughout  their  operations  without  prejudice  to   the
measures  envisaged in paragraph 18 or to government policies designed
to correct historical patterns of discrimination and thereby to extend
equality  of  opportunity  and treatment in employment.  Multinational
enterprises  should  accordingly  make   qualifications,   skill   and
experience  the  basis  for the recruitment,  placement,  training and
advancement of their staff at all levels.
     23. Governments  should  never require or encourage multinational
enterprises to  discriminate  on  any  of  the  grounds  mentioned  in
paragraph   21,   and  continuing  guidance  from  governments,  where
appropriate,  on the avoidance of such discrimination in employment is
encouraged.

                        Security of employment

     24. Governments    should   carefully   study   the   impact   of
multinational  enterprises  on  employment  in  different   industrial
sectors. Governments, as well as multinational enterprises themselves,
in all countries should  take  suitable  measures  to  deal  with  the
employment   and   labour   market   impacts   of  the  operations  of
multinational enterprises.
     25. Multinational  enterprises equally with national enterprises,
through active manpower planning,  should endeavour to provide  stable
employment  for  their  employees and should observe freely negotiated
obligations concerning employment stability and  social  security.  In
view of the flexibility which multinational enterprises may have, they
should strive to assume  a  leading  role  in  promoting  security  of
employment,  particularly  in  countries  where the discontinuation of
operations is likely to accentuate long-term unemployment.
     26. In   considering   changes  in  operations  (including  those
resulting from mergers,  take-overs or transfers of production)  which
would have major employment effects,  multinational enterprises should
provide  reasonable  notice  of  such  changes  to   the   appropriate
government  authorities  and  representatives  of the workers in their
employment and their organizations so that  the  implications  may  be
examined  jointly in order to mitigate adverse effects to the greatest
possible extent.  This is particularly important in the  case  of  the
closure of an entity involving collective lay-offs or dismissals.
     27. Arbitrary dismissal procedures should be avoided <6>.
     --------------------------------
     <6> Recommendation (No. 119) concerning Termination of Employment
at the Initiative of the Employer.

     28. Governments,  in  cooperation  with  multinational as well as
national enterprises,  should provide some form of  income  protection
for workers whose employment has been terminated <7>.
     --------------------------------
     <7> ibid.

                               TRAINING

     29. Governments,  in  cooperation with all the parties concerned,
should develop national policies for vocational training and guidance,
closely linked with employment <8>. This is the framework within which
multinational enterprises should pursue their training policies.
     --------------------------------
     <8> Convention (No.  142) and Recommendation (No. 150) concerning
Vocational  Guidance  and  Vocational  Training  in the Development of
Human Resources.

     30. In their operations,  multinational enterprises should ensure
that  relevant  training is provided for all levels of their employees
in the host  country,  as  appropriate,  to  meet  the  needs  of  the
enterprise  as  well as the development policies of the country.  Such
training should,  to the extent  possible,  develop  generally  useful
skills and promote career opportunities. This responsibility should be
carried out, where appropriate, in cooperation with the authorities of
the  country,  employers` and workers` organizations and the competent
local, national or international institutions.
     31. Multinational  enterprises  operating in developing countries
should participate,  along with national enterprises,  in  programmes,
including special funds,  encouraged by host governments and supported
by employers` and workers` organizations. These programmes should have
the  aim  of  encouraging  skill  formation and development as well as
providing vocational guidance,  and should be jointly administered  by
the  parties which support them.  Wherever practicable,  multinational
enterprises should make the services  of  skilled  resource  personnel
available  to  help in training programmes organized by governments as
part of a contribution to national development.
     32. Multinational    enterprises,   with   the   cooperation   of
governments and to the extent consistent with the efficient  operation
of  the enterprise,  should afford opportunities within the enterprise
as a whole to broaden the experience of local management  in  suitable
fields such as industrial relations.

                     CONDITIONS  OF WORK AND LIFE

                Wages, benefits and conditions of work

     33. Wages,   benefits   and   conditions   of   work  offered  by
multinational enterprises should be not less favourable to the workers
than those offered by comparable employers in the country concerned.
     34. When  multinational   enterprises   operate   in   developing
countries,  where  comparable  employers  may  not exist,  they should
provide the best possible wages,  benefits  and  conditions  of  work,
within  the  framework  of  government  policies <9>.  These should be
related to the economic position of the enterprise,  but should be  at
least  adequate  to  satisfy  basic  needs  of  the  workers and their
families.  Where they provide workers with  basic  amenities  such  as
housing,  medical  care  or food,  these amenities should be of a good
standard <10>.
     --------------------------------
     <9> Recommendation (No.  116) concerning Reduction  of  Hours  of
Work.
     <10> Convention (No. 110) and Recommendation (No. 110) concerning
Conditions  of  Employment of Plantation Workers;  Recommendation (No.
115) concerning Workers` Housing;  Recommendation (No.  69) concerning
Medical  Care;  Convention  (No.  130)  and  Recommendation (No.  134)
concerning Medical Care and Sickness Benefits.

     35. Governments,  especially  in  developing  countries,   should
endeavour  to  adopt  suitable  measures  to  ensure that lower income
groups and less developed areas benefit as much as possible  from  the
activities of multinational enterprises.

                             Minimum age

     36. Multinational  enterprises,  as well as national enterprises,
should respect the minimum age for admission to employment or work  in
order to secure the effective abolition of child labour <11>.
     --------------------------------
     <11> Convention No.  138,  Article 1; Convention No. 182, Article
1.

                          Safety and health

     37. Governments  should  ensure  that  both   multinational   and
national  enterprises provide adequate safety and health standards for
their employees. Those governments which have not yet ratified the ILO
Conventions  on  Guarding of Machinery (No.  119),  Ionising Radiation
(No.  115),  Benzene (No.  136) and Occupational Cancer (No.  139) are
urged  nevertheless  to  apply  to  the  greatest  extent possible the
principles  embodied  in  these  Conventions  and  in  their   related
Recommendations (Nos.  118,  114,  144 and 147). The codes of practice
and guides in the current list of publications on occupational  safety
and health should also be taken into account <12>.
     --------------------------------
     <12> The  ILO  Conventions  and  Recommendations  referred to are
listed in the Catalogue of ILO Publications on Occupational Safety and
Health,   1999   edn.,   ILO,   Geneva.  See  also  http://www.ilo.org
/public/english/protection/safework/publicat/index.htm.

     38. Multinational  enterprises  should   maintain   the   highest
standards   of   safety   and  health,  in  conformity  with  national
requirements,  bearing in mind their relevant  experience  within  the
enterprise  as  a  whole,  including any knowledge of special hazards.
They should also make available to the representatives of the  workers
in the enterprise,  and upon request, to the competent authorities and
the workers` and employers` organizations in all  countries  in  which
they operate,  information on the safety and health standards relevant
to their local operations,  which they observe in other countries.  In
particular,  they  should  make  known  to those concerned any special
hazards and related protective measures associated with  new  products
and processes.  They,  like comparable domestic enterprises, should be
expected to play a leading  role  in  the  examination  of  causes  of
industrial  safety  and  health  hazards  and  in  the  application of
resulting improvements within the enterprise as a whole.
     39. Multinational  enterprises  should  cooperate  in the work of
international  organizations  concerned  with  the   preparation   and
adoption of international safety and health standards.
     40. In   accordance   with   national   practice,   multinational
enterprises  should  cooperate  fully  with  the  competent safety and
health authorities,  the representatives  of  the  workers  and  their
organizations,  and established safety and health organizations. Where
appropriate,  matters  relating  to  safety  and  health   should   be
incorporated in agreements with the representatives of the workers and
their organizations.

                         INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

     41. Multinational  enterprises  should   observe   standards   of
industrial  relations  not  less  favourable  than  those  observed by
comparable employers in the country concerned.

           Freedom of association and the right to organize

     42. Workers employed by  multinational  enterprises  as  well  as
those  employed  by  national enterprises should,  without distinction
whatsoever, have the right to establish and, subject only to the rules
of  the  organization  concerned,  to  join organizations of their own
choosing without previous authorisation <13>.  They should also  enjoy
adequate  protection  against  acts  of  anti-union  discrimination in
respect of their employment <14>.
     --------------------------------
     <13> Convention No. 87, Article 2.
     <14> Convention No. 98, Article 1(1).

     43. Organizations  representing  multinational enterprises or the
workers in their employment should enjoy adequate  protection  against
any  acts  of  interference  by  each  other or each other`s agents or
members in their establishment, functioning or administration <15>.
     --------------------------------
     <15> Convention No. 98, Article 2(1).

     44. Where appropriate,  in the local circumstances, multinational
enterprises should support representative employers` organizations.
     45. Governments,  where they do not already do so,  are urged  to
apply the principles of Convention No.  87,  Article 5, in view of the
importance,  in relation to multinational enterprises,  of  permitting
organizations  representing  such  enterprises or the workers in their
employment to affiliate with international organizations of  employers
and workers of their own choosing.
     46. Where governments of host countries offer special  incentives
to attract foreign investment, these incentives should not include any
limitation of the workers` freedom of  association  or  the  right  to
organize and bargain collectively.
     47. Representatives of the workers in  multinational  enterprises
should  not  be hindered from meeting for consultation and exchange of
views  among  themselves,  provided  that  the  functioning   of   the
operations  of  the  enterprise and the normal procedures which govern
relationships  with  representatives  of   the   workers   and   their
organizations are not thereby prejudiced.
     48. Governments should not restrict the entry of  representatives
of employers` and workers` organizations who come from other countries
at the invitation of the local or national organizations concerned for
the  purpose  of consultation on matters of mutual concern,  solely on
the grounds that they seek entry in that capacity.

                        Collective bargaining

     49. Workers employed by multinational enterprises should have the
right,   in  accordance  with  national  law  and  practice,  to  have
representative organizations of their own choosing recognized for  the
purpose of collective bargaining.
     50. Measures appropriate to national conditions should be  taken,
where  necessary,  to  encourage  and promote the full development and
utilization of machinery for voluntary negotiation  between  employers
or employers` organizations and workers` organizations, with a view to
the regulation of terms and  conditions  of  employment  by  means  of
collective agreements <16>.

     <16> Convention No. 98, Article 4.

     51. Multinational  enterprises,  as well as national enterprises,
should provide workers` representatives with such facilities as may be
necessary  to  assist  in  the  development  of  effective  collective
agreements <17>.
     --------------------------------
     <17> Convention (No. 135) concerning Protection and Facilities to
be Afforded to Workers` Representatives in the Undertaking.

     52. Multinational   enterprises  should  enable  duly  authorized
representatives of the workers in their  employment  in  each  of  the
countries   in   which  they  operate  to  conduct  negotiations  with
representatives of management who are authorized to take decisions  on
the matters under negotiation.
     53. Multinational  enterprises,  in  the  context  of  bona  fide
negotiations  with  the  workers`  representatives  on  conditions  of
employment,  or while workers are exercising the  right  to  organize,
should  not  threaten  to  utilize a capacity to transfer the whole or
part of an operating unit from  the  country  concerned  in  order  to
influence unfairly those negotiations or to hinder the exercise of the
right to organize; nor should they transfer workers from affiliates in
foreign  countries  with  a view to undermining bona fide negotiations
with the workers` representatives or the workers`  exercise  of  their
right to organize.
     54. Collective  agreements  should  include  provisions  for  the
settlement   of   disputes   arising  over  their  interpretation  and
application  and  for   ensuring   mutually   respected   rights   and
responsibilities.
     55. Multinational    enterprises    should    provide    workers`
representatives  with information required for meaningful negotiations
with the entity involved and,  where this accords with local  law  and
practice,  should  also provide information to enable them to obtain a
true and fair  view  of  the  performance  of  the  entity  or,  where
appropriate, of the enterprise as a whole <18>.
     --------------------------------
     <18> Recommendation  (No.  129) concerning Communications between
Management and Workers within the Undertaking.

     56. Governments should supply to the representatives of  workers`
organizations   on   request,   where  law  and  practice  so  permit,
information on the industries in which the enterprise operates,  which
would  help  in  laying  down  objective  criteria  in  the collective
bargaining process. In this context, multinational as well as national
enterprises  should  respond constructively to requests by governments
for relevant information on their operations.

                             Consultation

     57. In multinational as well as in national enterprises,  systems
devised  by  mutual  agreement between employers and workers and their
representatives should provide,  in accordance with national  law  and
practice,  for regular consultation on matters of mutual concern. Such
consultation should not be  a  substitute  for  collective  bargaining
<19>.
     --------------------------------
     <19> Recommendation   (No.   94)   concerning   Consultation  and
Co-operation  between  Employers  and  Workers   at   the   Level   of
Undertaking; Recommendation (No. 129) concerning Communications within
the Undertaking.

                      Examination of grievances

     58. Multinational as well as national enterprises should  respect
the right of the workers whom they employ to have all their grievances
processed in a manner consistent with  the  following  provision:  any
worker  who,  acting  individually  or  jointly  with  other  workers,
considers that he has grounds for a grievance should have the right to
submit  such grievance without suffering any prejudice whatsoever as a
result, and to have such grievance examined pursuant to an appropriate
procedure   <20>.   This   is   particularly  important  whenever  the
multinational enterprises operate in countries which do not  abide  by
the   principles   of   ILO   Conventions  pertaining  to  freedom  of
association,  to the right to organize and bargain collectively and to
forced labour <21>.
     --------------------------------
     <20> Recommendation  (No.  130)  concerning  the  Examination  of
Grievances within the Undertaking with a View to Their Settlement.
     <21> Convention (No.  29) concerning Forced or Compulsory Labour;
Convention (No.  105)  concerning  the  Abolition  of  Forced  Labour;
Recommendation (No. 35) concerning Indirect Compulsion to Labour.

                  Settlement of industrial disputes

     59. Multinational  as  well  as national enterprises jointly with
the representatives and organizations of the workers whom they  employ
should seek to establish voluntary conciliation machinery, appropriate
to national conditions,  which may include  provisions  for  voluntary
arbitration,  to assist in the prevention and settlement of industrial
disputes between employers and  workers.  The  voluntary  conciliation
machinery should include equal representation of employers and workers
<22>.

and Arbitration.

                                                           Addendum II

                                                               Adopted
                                                 by the Governing Body
                                       of the ILO at its 277th Session
                                               of March 2000 in Geneva

     The International  Labour Conference adopted in June 1998 the ILO
Declaration on Fundamental Principles and  Rights  at  Work.  By  this
adoption,  Members  renewed  their commitment to respect,  promote and
realize the following  fundamental  principles  and  rights  at  work,
namely:
     (a) freedom of association and the effective recognition  of  the
right to collective bargaining;
     (b) the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour;
     (c) the effective abolition of child labour; and
     (d) the elimination of discrimination in  respect  of  employment
and occupation.
     The ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at  Work
applies   to   all   Members.   Nevertheless,   the   contribution  of
multinational enterprises to its implementation can prove an important
element  in  the  attainment of its objectives.  In this context,  the
interpretation  and  application  of  the  Tripartite  Declaration  of
Principles  concerning  Multinational  Enterprises  and  Social Policy
should fully take into account the objectives of the  ILO  Declaration
on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.  This reference does not
in any way affect the  voluntary  character  or  the  meaning  of  the
provisions  of  the  Tripartite  Declaration  of Principles concerning
Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy.
