IndustriALL Asia Pacific unites for workers' trade rights

During exchange sessions, participants discussed the latest developments of the regional and bilateral trade agreements, which will affect IndustriALL affiliates. Good practices of safeguarding workers’ rights were identified. For example, forming alliances with other trade unions, peasant and civil society organisations, continuous campaigning and building public pressure, mobilising support of trade unions in other countries, leveraging the forum of international bodies, IndustriALL Global Union said in a press release.

The Asia Pacific affiliates are proposing the creation of a regional and global platform on trade and industrial policy to strengthen coordination and information exchange among affiliates and regional offices.

Thirty participants from Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan joined the meeting in person and via Zoom.
