Model Agreement for Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining Protection and Grievances

In light of increasing legislation on human rights due diligence, more and more companies, industry- and multistakeholder initiatives are setting up operational-level non-judicial grievance mechanisms. The model agreement, developed by the PYW union committee, provides a benchmark for a non-judicial grievance mechanism covering FOA's core labour and human rights and the right to collective bargaining. It is meant to support efforts from unions to develop Enforceable Brand Agreements and, importantly, to counter weaker efforts from brands and business-led initiatives by providing a yardstick against which to measure them.

On 8 November 2024, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced she would introduce a proposal to amend three key pillars of the European Green Deal through an Omnibus law: the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the Taxonomy Regulation.
