This article analyses past and future work at the International Labour Organization (‘ILO’) with reference to the transformational analysis offered by Karl Polanyi, examining how constitutional statements made through ILO Declarations reflect countermovement to market dominance. These policy shifts at the ILO are also analysed in relation to the three pillars of sustainability (environmental, economic and social), which arguably map onto Polanyi’s three fictitious commodities (with a focus on labour as emblematic of social concerns). It is argued that the emphasis on social justice and sustainability in the 2019 ILO Global Commission Report, including the proposal for a Universal Labour Guarantee, provides significant resistance to the economic orthodoxy regarding the future of work promoted by the World Bank Group and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (‘OECD’). However, this narrative of ILO countermovement also exposes a lack of balanced regulation which requires more inclusive voice on the global stage.

本文参照卡尔·波兰尼（Karl Polanyi）提供的转型分析，分析了国际劳工组织（'ILO'）过去和将来的工作，研究了通过国际劳工组织宣言发表的宪法声明如何反映对市场主导地位的抵制。国际劳工组织的这些政策转变也与可持续性的三大支柱（环境，经济和社会）进行了分析，可以说是针对波兰尼的三种虚拟商品（重点是作为社会关注象征的劳动）。有人争辩说，国际劳工组织2019年全球委员会报告中强调了社会正义和可持续性，包括《全球劳工保证》的建议，对于世界银行集团和经济合作与发展组织（'OECD'）推动的未来工作，经济正统观念产生了重大阻力。但是，对国际劳工组织反动议的叙述也暴露出缺乏均衡的监管，这要求在全球舞台上更具包容性。
