Lots to Learn on Solidarity Center Website

by James Parks, Jun 29, 2009

The AFL-CIO Solidarity Center has added a new look to its website that shows the breadth of the center’s efforts to help workers in 60 countries achieve a better life by forming independent trade unions. The site, www.solidaritycenter.org, offers a range of options to learn about the Solidarity Center’s programs, publications and other work. 

The site includes an interactive map showing regions of the world in which the center maintains field offices and linking to union news and program updates from each region.   

The site follows Solidarity Center’s work on issues such as the global economy, workers’ and human rights, safety and health, migration and human trafficking, organizing and bargaining, gender and equality. It puts a global perspective on news about workers and describes the union exchange programs that allow union members to interact with workers in foreign countries and learn firsthand about the conditions they face in the workplace. It’s also a source for videos of workers around the world struggling to join unions.

Check it out.
