Abstract
Sustainability objectives have been recognised at the International Labour Organization (ILO) primarily in terms of the impact of environmental protection in the form of “just transitions” and “green jobs” initiatives. Arguably, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) now offer richer scope for ILO engagement with social sustainability. This can be attributed to the prominent recognition of “decent work” in SDG 8 and the need for “responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels” in target SDG 16.7. This article considers how collective worker voice could be further promoted by the ILO in the context of debates over a sustainable “future of work”, with reference to who is given voice and how it is exercised.
