Yardsticks
for Workers Rights: MonitoringIn addition to measurement units directed at one specific area of workers’ rights, which are discussed in previous sections, current practice also includes measurement units on subjects that cut across workers’ rights generally. For example, whether workers have had their rights explained to them, and whether workers have effective procedures for raising grievances about rights violations when they occur, are important factors for code compliance no matter which particular right is at stake. Most obviously, the integrity of the monitoring process itself is critical to effective measurement in every specific area of workers’ rights. Taking measurements on these cross-cutting subjects not only provides a foundation for gauging the reliability of measurement efforts within specific areas of workers’ rights, but also helps to identify structural flaws in the measurement process as a whole. For both reasons, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of measurement units for these cross-cutting subjects, and trying to improve them, is at least as important as assessing and improving the units of measurement discussed in the sections above.
