Solidarity Center Report: Decent Jobs at Home Means Not Risking Your Life Abroad

If working people could find good jobs, they would not be forced into a desperate search for employment in other countries, a process that means they often are exploited and abused, says Caroline Khamati Mugalla, executive secretary of the East African Trade Union Confederation (EATUC). And unions are key to achieving decent work because they empower working people to join together to achieve living wages and safe working conditions. Mugalla spoke this week on the podcast Working Life, where host Jonathan Tasini discussed labor migration in Africa, the focus of a recent Solidarity Center conference. Find out more at the Solidarity Center.
