Apr 6, 2022 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Description

The COVID-19 pandemic underlines the crucial role that essential workers play in supporting economies, societies and businesses. It is also a reminder that their remuneration does not always reflect the value of their work, putting the livelihood of many workers at risk. This panel will highlight how social dialogue has been mobilised to secure a fairer remuneration and decent working conditions.
