IndustriALL’s global campaign to STOP Precarious Work was joined by unions from across the world recently.
Workers and affiliates raised their voice to denounce the increase of precarious work and the bad working conditions of precarious workers in several countries such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Serbia, Kenya, Ghana, Armenia, Belgium, Germany, USA, Canada, Japan, Indonesia, etc.
A human chain was organised by IndustriALL Bangladesh Council in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with more than 200 people protesting against precarious work. IndustriALL National Council Women’s Committee held a joint demonstration in Jakarta, Indonesia linking this action to their ongoing campaign on maternity protection. Women and youth members showed their commitment to decent work with flyers at the National Assemblies of both the Committee for promoting gender equality and the Youth committee in Japan. For the first time, to bring attention to precarious work IndustriALL affiliates in Kenya took action.
Mauritian affiliate of IndustriALL Global Union, CMCTEU, along witht eh national centre, CTSP organised a demonstration and a debate on Decent Work and labour legislation to mark the day.
Also, Rio Tinto network and the HolcimLafarge mobilised their members to denounce the rise of precarious work in their companies and the subsequent bad working conditions.
