Answer:
The fundamental international standards on freedom of association and association and collective bargaining are the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organize Convention, 1948 (No. 87) and the Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98). Other international standards that contemplate these rights and freedoms are the Workers 'Representatives Convention, 1971 (No. 135), the Workers' Representatives Recommendation, 1971 (No. 143), and the Collective Bargaining Recommendation, 1981 (No. 163).
International norms specific to social dialogue, the Recommendation on consultation and collaboration between controls and workers in the field of business, 1952 (No. 94) and the Recommendation on communications between management and workers within the company, 1967 (No. 129). Likewise, a majority of ILO conventions and recommendations contain provisions that support social dialogue by requiring consultations with representative organizations of agencies and workers.
The excerpt is the following:
<em>As to our City of Dublin, shambles may be appointed for this purpose, in the most convenient parts of it, and butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.</em>
Answer:
He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."
Explanation:
An understatement is a figure of speech that consists of intentionally representing something less important or smaller than it really is. This is what Swift uses when he suggests that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs." The author employs this figure of speech to catch the readers' attention and to criticize Irish society and its attitude toward the condition of poor farmers and laborers who can not feed their children due to the high rent they have to pay to their landowners. In order to improve the poor's economic situation, they'd better sell their children off as food to feed the wealthy.
