OTR 8 Droits du travail en Asie (ACV-CSCi)

This Asia outcome seeks to strengthen negotiation, organisational and institutional capacities for social dialogue of Indonesian, Cambodian and Philippine trade union partner organisations (PO) towards promotion of workers’ rights for workers in precarious labour situations within multinational enterprises (MNE) operating in Asia and their supply chains (SC) - which include domestic companies and informal economy workers. To this end PO provide for sensitization, training and mobilisation of their members, leaders and (para)legal staff. They organise and/or participate in regional workshops for the sake of benchmarking of good practices on organisation of workers and negotiation of their rights within MNE ; they participate in international workshops organised by ACV-CSCi for all trade union PO of ACV-CSCi and WSM towards joint influencing of relevant normative processes within the ILO.; and they participate in national, regional and international political actions of WSM’s multi-actor INSP!R networks. Ultimately, PO engage in social dialogue at various national, regional and international levels ensuring practical and political change for the intended beneficiaries. In line with these beneficiaries’ priorities, the focus will be on improved income security, restitution for gender based violence at the work place and the reduction of environmental/ecological footprints of work places. Overall, the outcome will mostly contribute to formalisation of the informal economy, sustainable production, freedom of association and collective bargaining, decent work for all and reduction of poverty - in line with SDG targets 8.3, 8.4, 8.8, 8.5 and 1.1 - as well as to SDG targets 5.1 and 5.c on claiming gender rights and gender friendly legal frameworks, 12.1, 13.2, 13.3 and 13.2 on sustainable consumption and production, national adaptation and Just Transition plans, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, 16.3 and 16.b on equal access to justice, and 17.9 on partnerships. Strengthened trade union PO of Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines, have in a sustainable way promoted a transformative extension, application and implementation of workers’ rights for workers in precarious labour situations within multinational enterprises (MNE) operating in Asia and their supply chains (SC) (which include domestic companies and informal economy workers) – with specific and crosscutting attention for gender and environment (in contribution to SDG targets 8.3. to 8.8).
