Sam Oliver, a union shop steward at the Sime Darby Rubber and Oil plantation in Liberia, describes how his union negotiated renovations for workers' company-provided housing which Oliver describes as "deplorable" before workers formed a union. Oliver tells about his experiences improving the lives of working people at the new Solidarity Center Workers’ Equality Forum site, an interactive platform where workers can record their narratives, upload first-person videos or email first-person stories—to connect with each other and convey their workplace realities to a larger public.
