“Wages, work safety, ergonomics, sexual harassment, maternity protection and the right to organize are a few of the topics that fall under the category of working conditions. A worker’s livelihood and that of his/her family is directly affected by these conditions. Improving working conditions is essential to reducing poverty. An increase in productivity, family and community stability and improved livelihoods are a few of the benefits realized when working conditions are improved,” added the organizers.
