Abstract
T he framing of workers' rights as human rights has become popular among union leaders and labor academics.The idea of collective bargaining as a fundamental human right that is on a par with freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and other rights all human beings are presumed to have is very appealing to those who have participated in the struggle to improve the conditions of workers around the globe.This idea is grounded in ILO conventions.But a tension exists between the strategy of using the human rights argument to promote workers' interests and other strategies for improving conditions faced by workers today.Promoting workers' rights as human rights is a high-level legal strategy involving both national and international bodies.It is a strategy that many believe will help workers in the long run.But what does it do to promote economic justice in the short run, when workers are fired for trying to form a union, paid less than their agreed-upon wages, or perhaps not even paid at all?What role does the long-term legal strategy play in the overall movement to promote economic justice?This issue features four articles that address some of the tensions surrounding workers' rights as human rights.The articles are the best of those presented on this topic at the UALE conference in April 2008.Two of the four papers focus on the legal and policy aspects of the workers'-rights-as-human-rights approach and the strategic implications for unions.Both papers are somewhat cautious about this approach.Many labor educators are familiar with the decision by the Supreme Court of Canada that the collective bargaining process is protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (BC Health Services, 2007), making collective bargaining the equivalent of, in U.S. terms, a constitutional right.Labor unions hailed this ruling as a significant victory.In his article, Savage puts this victory in context and discusses the role of ILO standards in domestic Canadian decisions.He also raises questions about union strategy and the workers' rights approach overall.He argues, in part, that the reliance on a judicial strategy tends to de-mobilize the working class.In that strategy, the key roles are played by attorneys and judges rather than by union leaders and members.The risk is that workers will disengage from the struggle.Savage suggests that workers' rights flow from workers' political power, rather than the reverse.He expresses concern that while Canadian unions are currently enjoying more success with a legal strategy that they have in the past, the reliance on a legal strategy

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
