The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that:

Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.

Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.

Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.

Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests

Article 23

This document is one of the most recognised in existence
and the statements it makes are ones that should be the
fundamentals of human life, 
the things that we can take for granted and trust will always apply.

Does this happen though?

The answer is no and the solutions in the case of Article 23 is to go to

your union.
