    The document summarizes workers' rights in Brazil, Russia, India, and China. While there are some commonalities such as prohibiting work under age 16, there are also differences. Brazil's constitution protects unions and collective bargaining. Russia's unions have limited power in practice. India prohibits work under 14 and limits overtime. China illegally hires under 16 but this is commonly ignored. The manager concludes workers' rights are important human rights that protect vulnerable groups and prevent exploitation.

    As a manager of International Business, I will utilize this information by connecting


    workers’ rights to human rights. Connecting workers’ rights to human rights shows that workers’
    rights are vital, and must not be traded off casually. They should, in most cases, trump
    arguments of profit and efficiency. Human rights are valuable for workers. They give workers a
    voice and offer political and moral space for the most vulnerable of groups, such as the
    unorganized, under-skilled, and undocumented. They demand that the law protect workers, and
    that no one can easily do away with them. Finally, with human rights to back them, workers are
    able to refuse exploitation done in the name of efficiency.
