Webinar: Worker-Driven Social Responsibility - Exploring A New Model for Tackling Abuse in Supply Chains

Focus on Labour Exploitation (FLEX)is a UK-based research and policy advocacy organisation working to end trafficking for labour exploitation.Our goal is to prevent and address the exploitation of people working in the mainstream economy, especially those who are marginalised and in low-paid, precarious work. We do this by highlighting labour abuses from lower level forms to the most severe cases; providing policymakers with clear, evidence-based strategies for prevention; protecting and centring the rights of trafficked persons; and promoting best practice responses to human trafficking for labour exploitation.Worker-Driven Social Responsibility Network (WSRN)is a US-based network ofworker organizations, allies, and technical advisors working to expand, promote and replicate the Worker-Driven Social Responsibility model in supply chains around the world. With the support of its staff, the Network builds understanding of the WSR model among a wide range of relevant actors, provides support and coordination for worker-led efforts to replicate the model, and shifts the paradigm to establish the model as the baseline for workers’ rights programs within global supply chains.

Participants will hear from the WSR Network about how this novel approach to human rights enforcement in global supply chains can be adapted to transform labour conditions in different industry and country contexts. This will be followed by a presentation from FLEX on its soon-to-be-published research, which explores how WSR can interact with, and potentially strengthen, trade unions and labour inspection.
