Yolanda Díaz's program to lead the ILO advocates for a charter of minimum labor rights for all countries

Second Vice-President and Minister of Labour, Yolanda Díaz, has formally presented her candidacy for the general management of the International Labour Organization (ILO), where it has already been registered alongside that of her current sole rival: the current Director-General, African Gilbert F. Houngbo, who announced last April that he will run for re-election.

The registration of the candidacy has been accompanied by an action programme, which EL PAÍS has had access to, that Díaz wants to implement if she is elected next November. And as the main feature of this plan, she proposes the negotiation and approval of a decalogue of basic and universal labour standards that would be applied in all countries.
