Sign the Child Labour petition! Your vote counts!

The ICFTU (International Confederation of Free Trade Unions) launched a worldwide Campaign To Stop Child Labour. One of the actions they undertake as part of the campaign is a petition.

*****************************************
Yes, I am signing this petition, which is my vote against child labour and for education for all children, decent jobs and respect for workers and trade union rights for adults, calling on:

* All governments to say YES to education for all children and NO to
   child labour, by ratifying and implementing ILO Child Labour Conventions
   138 and 182.

* The IMF and the World Bank to make sure that their programmes increase
   access to   education, rather than causing governments to slash education budgets.
* Employers to stop hiring children. Those children who are working should be 
   taken out of work, rehabilitated and brought into school.

* Employers, governments and international institutions to provide decent jobs for
   adults and respect the right of workers to organise.
