The trial by the ILO of the Howard Government over its alleged breach of international obligations to protect the right of working Australians to freedom of association will resume today (Friday).<>ACTU President Sharan Burrow said: "The International Labour Organisation (ILO) is sitting in Geneva, Switzerland, today to hear a complaint about the Australian Government's current workplace laws and whether they breach international human rights obligations. The ILO 'Committee on the Freedom of Association' will hear the complaint with the findings of the Committee due to be considered bythe ILO's Governing Body meeting next week.
