Goals Building stronger unions Deliver minimum living wages backed by sustainable systems to deliver them Ensure social protection Changing corporate behavior in their supply chains to: Purge forced and informal labour Pay a minimum living wage Expand collective bargaining and safe and secure work

National Organising - Using the campaign to grow the union at country level. Leverage national Union and sectoral campaigns to grow union strength. Moving governments & corporations by mobilising workers to achieve: minimum living wage - a level in each country determined by unions Social protection floor Change behavior of corporations/supply Chains

Global Scandal Series - reports that expose the exploitation the first edition looked inside the supply chains of 50 of the largest companies The shocking fact revealed that 94% of the global workforce is hidden Only 6% of the workforce that MNE's depend on for profit are directly employed Workers stories demonstrate exploitation – poverty wages, insecure work, unsafe work, informality, forced overtime and slavery. Samsung will be an Asian target for global exposure in 2016 Targeted countries in Africa and Latin America in 2016 'End Corporate Greed' umbrella for May 1 activities

Legislation and litigation Achieve Legislation in 5 countries holding MNE's accountable for labour rights, minimum living wages, employment relationship & safe work in global supply chains Use Litigation/legal strategies Including: ILO complaints  Domestic courts - not paying wages, abusing employment relationship  OECD guidelines complaints Trade measures - complaints Procurement laws to put pressure on companies and procurement contracts
