Philippines

The Philippines is among the most dangerous countries in the world for union activists and leaders. Incidents of violence, murder, arbitrary arrests and anti-union retaliation are well documented.

 

In the Philippines, the Solidarity Center works with trade unions, global union federations and allied organizations to support advocacy and union organizing that advance labor rights and freedom of association. The Solidarity Center partners with unions to provide capacity-building training, legal assistance and engagement with policymakers to support workers in the construction, platform-based delivery, call center and manufacturing sectors.
