Global trade has global impacts, including low pay resulting in systemic poverty, poor working conditions (sometimes amounting to forced labour), displacement, pollution and uncertainty as market demands fluctuate. Electronics Watch aims to support workers' rights in a electronics industry that seeks low profit margins, short lead times, increasingly uses contract labour and relies on vulnerable groups and suppresses labour rights in countries that have few and under-enforced legal regimes.
This free webinar, taking place on October 20th, 11am-12pm, will outline how Electronics Watch supports public buyers to meet their responsibility to protect the labour rights of workers in their global electronics supply chains. For more information and to book your free place please click here.
