Organizing for Decent Work in the Informal Economy-Strategies, Methods and Practices
Based largely on empirical studies, this book makes an invaluable contribution by presenting trade union organizing strategies, methods and practices in South Asian countries.
The publication identifies organizing as a method to raise the consciousness of informal economy workers through education, advocacy, vocational training, campaigning and networking.
Organizing is also viewed as a method of increasing the organizational strength of trade unions by recruiting new members. Therefore, “organizing the unorganized” is a means of realizing the ILO’s decent work agenda, which promotes rights at work, full employment, adequate social protection and social dialogue.
This publication is a useful tool for all ILO constituents, but particularly, for trade unions worldwide that would like to learn lessons from the experience of other unions in South Asia.
