Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Between promoting workers' rights and satisfying employers, Egypt is witnessing a state of imbalance in the relationship between the worker and the employer, given that the last amendment to the Labor Law was by Law No. 12 of 2003, but the changes in the economic, labor and social scene in recent years, especially with The nature of work changed, and many workers turned into irregular employment, the amendment became a duty and the change was necessary, to restore the required balance due to the impact of these variables, which would restore the workers their rights on the one hand, and gain more investments on the other hand, without prejudice to the relationship between the worker and the employer.<\/p>\n

In light of the deterioration of employment conditions in Egypt, especially in recent years, which negatively affected the work environment and attracted investments, this paper tries to provide solutions at the level of public policy, to address this problem, and come up with some results that can be used in improving the work environment for both the worker and the owner. Work, and achieve compatibility between them.<\/p>\n

The paper deals with "The budget<\/strong> Between workers 'rights and employers' rights<\/strong>A set of basic points in three axes: The paper begins with a presentation of the relationship between the worker and the employer from the legal and legal standpoint, as it clarifies this relationship through international conventions and the International Labor Organization, then deals with local legislation, and then presents Egypt's international obligations. In the second axis of the paper, the reality of employment in Egypt is listed in relation to the conditions of workers on the one hand, and the challenges faced by business owners and investors on the other hand are presented. The last axis deals with a proposed vision as an attempt to create a balance between the worker and the employer, in a way that does not waste the rights of the worker or harm the employer. The vision provides solutions at the legislative level, clarifying the role of trade unions, as well as highlighting the role of national councils in protecting workers' rights, and the role of companies and civil society organizations in the framework of supporting workers and ensuring their rights.<\/p>\n

The first axis: the status of the relationship between the worker and the employer from the legal and legal point of view<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, the status of the relationship between the worker and the employer in international agreements<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights guarantees everyone \u201cthe right to work, the freedom to choose his work, to just and favorable conditions of work, and to protection from unemployment.[1]<\/a>\u201c. The right to work is also the first of the rights recognized by the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights[2]<\/a>\u201c; What I specialize in is that everyone has the possibility to earn his livelihood with a job that he freely chooses or accepts. However, the first to be issued to defend workers' rights in a specialized way is the International Labor Organization, which was founded in 1919, then turned into a specialized agency of the United Nations in 1946, and it works according to 4 main objectives, namely to ensure respect for basic rights at work, and to help provide Jobs for men and women alike, in addition to ensuring social protection for all work, and strengthening dialogue between the various professional parties.<\/p>\n

Throughout its operation, the International Labor Organization has ratified and issued dozens of conventions[3]<\/a>And it issued dozens of recommendations on both large and small about workers' rights and improving their conditions, as well as how to organize work, determine operating hours, child and women labor, eliminate unemployment, and other matters that affect all workers around the world.<\/p>\n
