LABOR LINK
Labor Link is giving workers a voice and access to information that improves their lives.
Worker’s lives are in danger because they lack channels to report unsafe conditions to distant buyers, and low-income workers in global supply chains lack information needed to access better opportunities for themselves and their families. Labor Link gives workers a voice. Labor Link voice surveys enable respondents to share thoughts & opinions with decision-makers. Labor Link virtual training provides an information channel that can benefit workers and their families or communities. The result is enhanced livelihoods, stronger worker-management relations, increased financial security and empowered decision-making. Up-to-day, 125,000 workers around the world has been reached and by 2020, 1 million workers are aimed.
