Organising And Workers Empowerment - Trade Union Unity : PROGRAMME AREA

Africa is experiencing a degradation of the fundamentals of unionism which hampers development and leads to a decline in the trade union movement.

In view of this situation it is imperative for trade union organizations to fully assume their role as the only large movement not only capable of taking into account the real interest of workers, but also as actors in economic and social development, hence a force for change.
