The ILO classifies Conventions by type, subject and status. • Type relates to whether the convention is fundamental, covers governance matters or is technical (generally issues of working conditions). • Subjects covered by the Conventions: •
Individual rights at work, mainly on safety, wage standards, working time, or social security, and the rights to freedom from forced to work or work during childhood. •
Collective labour rights to participation in the workplace, particularly to join a
trade union, collectively bargain and take strike action, as well as direct representation within the management of organizations. • Rights to
equal treatment, that are referential to the terms and conditions of people in comparable situations, with special protections for indigenous communities and migrants. • Promotion of
job security, through standards for dismissals, protection upon an employer's insolvency, regulation of employment agencies and requirements upon member states to promote full and fulfilling employment. • Requirements for administrative apparatus by governments to enforce and promote labour standards, through inspections, the collection of statistics, training and consulting with unions and employers before the passage of legislation. • Sectoral Conventions specific to certain industries, these include seafaring, fishing, plantations, hotels, nursing, home and domestic work, where employees may be particularly vulnerable. • Status relates to whether a Convention is up to date, requires revision or has been abrogated (withdrawn). == List of the Conventions ==
