This year, the virtual summit will focus on two of the most important yet least talked about workers' rights: the freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.
In the electronics industry, a small minority of production workers are members of independent, democratic trade unions. Fewer still benefit from collective bargaining agreements. Without access to both, it is difficult for workers to defend themselves against workplace abuses, protect their health and safety, and strive for decent working conditions.
Our virtual summit will build on what has been learned with workers, public buyers, monitoring partners and trade unions so far on the fundamental rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining. We will dive deep into the questions of how public buyers can protect these rights, and how trade unions help to ensure social and environmental responsibility in their supply chains.
