Against Decent Work. About the inadequacy of this slogan and the reasons why the dignity of work is independent of the conditions in which it is provided

Abstract

In this comment we propose to question the slogan of Decent Work work by the ILO and many other international institutions, from the understanding that the dignity of work is independent of the conditions in which it is provided. The dignity of work resides in the personal quality of its executor. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to demand decent work but, in any case, decent working conditions.
