Video: Workers’ Role, Power in Global Supply Chains

A new Solidarity Center video makes it easy to understand how global supply chains, government inaction, poverty and economic inequality are connected—while highlighting how unions are key to reversing the dynamic that fuels low wages and unsafe workplaces.

In the short, “white board” video, the narrator explains that by using collective power, workers “improve their workplaces, their wages, their families’ living conditions—and they use that power to improve their communities and build democracy.

“In strong democracies, working people hold their governments accountable so more people have better jobs and the dignity everyone deserves.”

The bottom line: “Together we can create better jobs, stronger communities!”
