Presentación del curso
Este curso explora el principio y derecho fundamental a la libertad sindical y el derecho a la negociación colectiva, centrándose en cómo las empresas, las instituciones financieras de desarrollo, las empresas estatales y las agencias de contratación pública pueden promover una conducta empresarial responsable.
