CNV Internationaal
Who we are and what we do (see Dutch below) 100% Fair Work, that's what CNV Internationaal strives to achieve together with our partner unions in Africa, Asia and Latin America. We dedicate ourselves to improve the position of workers around the world every day. In 1967 we started working with independent trade unions in Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia to improve working conditions for workers in the formal and informal economies. Think of wages high enough to live on, a safe workplace for women as well as men, the right to negotiate on behalf of a trade union and a stronger position for female and young workers. Conditions far from achieved in many countries in the world. We are the development organisation of the Dutch trade union CNV, and we work closely with international partner unions. We train partners from abroad to become strong negotiating partners in their own countries to strengthen the voice of workers young people and women. We do this mainly by providing training programmes, exchanging knowledge and using our stakeholder network. In addition, we work together with the Dutch government and the Dutch business community in making their international production chains more sustainable, e.g. by providing advice and laying down commitments for international responsible business conduct in international RBC agreements.

Denk aan een loon dat hoog genoeg is om van te leven, een veilige werkplek voor vrouwen én mannen, het recht om te onderhandelen namens een vakbond en het versterken van de positie van jonge werknemers. Zaken die in Nederland vanzelfsprekend zijn, maar in heel veel landen ter wereld niet. Kijk hier wat we doen in 40 seconden: https://youtu.be/gsEjGvwfAJA #cnvinternationaal #100%EerlijkWerk
