Please join the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), Migrant Justice Institute, Solidarity Center, the ILAW Network and MIDEQ for a global discussion on the ways in which unions are successfully supporting migrant workers to achieve labour justice.  

Around the world, migrant workers are routinely subject to exploitation and forced labour, including wage theft. Unions can play a critical role in holding employers and supply chain businesses to account and ensuring migrant workers can obtain redress. Hear from unions about their strategies and recent achievements in recovering unpaid wages of migrant workers in different regions of the world.
