UnionAID

Today, despite our world being richer than ever, over 400 million workers in Asia and the Pacific dont enjoy the basics of a decent life. Hard working people are forced into dangerous, poorly paid, and insecure work. As a result people are struggling to support their families, keep their children in school and to access basic needs like healthcare. This wont change unless working people demand change. One person alone cannot change the unjust systems that sustain poverty. However, by joining together as a union, working people have the collective power to stand up and demand safe work, better wages and a life free of poverty. This is UnionAIDs unique approach to development. When working people in our region take collective action for their rights, we are there to support them so that they have the resources they need to win their struggle and transform their lives
