Maria works in a factory overseas - HSC - SSCE Legal Studies - Question 10 - 2005 - Paper 1

In Maria’s situation, her employer’s prohibition against joining a trade union infringes on her fundamental rights as an individual. The right to join a trade union is recognized as an individual human right, allowing workers to organize collectively for better working conditions and benefits. By forbidding her from joining, the employer is not only restricting her freedom of association but also undermining her personal autonomy. This act exemplifies an abuse of an individual human right, making option (D) the most appropriate choice.
