Workers Rights campaigns
From Envirowiki
All over the world, but especially in the third world, corporations exploit workers to make a larger profit. In some of the places that this happens, people decide to take action.
Free-trade zones, or Export processing zones, as they are orwellianly termed, are often places of extreme worker exploitation.
[edit] Exploitation of worker's rights
explotation of workers takes many forms, including:
- hard labour for low pay, or no pay
- Child labour
- anti-union policies by corporations, restricting workers' abilty to organise
- exposure to chemicals and other unhealthy practices
[edit] Worker rights campaigns
workers rights campaigns take many forms, all over the world.
