Reasonable Value and the International Organization of Labor Rights

Critics of “globalization” have argued that “core” labor rights should be written into regional and multilateral trade agreements. “Free traders” oppose this; arguing if should be dealt with by the International Labor Organization, not in trade agreements. The critics find this less than satisfactor...

The critics find this less than satisfactory, as the ILO has no enforcement capability. We argue that the ILO is the appropriate body for dealing with labor rights, though not for the reasons that the “free traders” stand on. Rather, the ILO embodies the theoretical standpoint, theory of value, and analysis of labor markets found in the institutional economics of John R. Commons. While there are problems in applying Commons’ approach internationally, it is possible that incorporating ILO findings in national decision making may promote the ILO as an authoritative figure. Les critiques de la « mondialisation » ont défendu l’idée selon laquelle les principaux droits du travail devraient faire partie des ententes de commerce régionales et multilatérales. Les « libres échangistes » s’opposent à cela, préconisant plutôt le fait que ceux-ci devraient être établis par l’Organisation internationale du travail (OIT) et non par les traités commerciaux. Les critiques de la « mondialisation » considèrent cette dernière option insatisfaisante, dans la mesure où l’OIT ne possède pas de capacité exécutoire. Nous soutenons que l’OIT est l’organisme approprié pour traiter des droits du travail, non pour la raison invoquée par les « libres échangistes », mais plutôt parce que l’OIT incorpore un point de vue fondé sur une théorie de la valeur et une analyse des marchés du travail issue de la théorie économique institutionnaliste de John R. Commons. Bien qu’il y ait des problèmes à appliquer l’approche commonsienne au niveau international, il est possible qu’en transposant les conceptions de l’OIT dans le processus de décision national, on puisse promouvoir l’OIT comme une autorité compétente.
