A Solidarity Center video that shows how unions are key to reversing the dynamic that fuels low wages and unsafe workplaces in the global supply chain won the top award in the Social Responsibility category of the 2017 Telly Awards. The Telly Awards honor the best in TV and cable, digital and streaming, and non-broadcast productions.
Produced by Next Day Animations, the short “white board” video explains that by using collective power to counter the interconnected effects of global supply chains, government inaction, poverty and economic inequality, workers “improve their workplaces, their wages, their families’ living conditions—and they use that power to improve their communities and build democracy.”
In a statement, Next Day Animations says “we are thrilled by this honor and grateful for our awesome partner organizations who helped make it happen.”
