The Conference “The Future of Work We Want: Workers’ Perspectives from the Caribbean” will bring together trade union leaders and voices from UN agencies, academia, governments and employers from across the sub-region to discuss the profound transformations and challenges in the present and future world of work.

The event will focus on current developments in the world of work and how countries can develop appropriate strategies to face the expected changes in the world of work – with a particular focus on the role of trade unions in this process.

“This Conference is part of set of activities that ACTRAV is promoting in the different regions across the world to stress the importance for workers’ organizations to be part in the discussions on the Future of Work. We hope that this Conference will be an occasion for the Unions to find changes to be made for their internal organizations to implement the future of work we all want” explains Maria Helena ANDRE, Director of ACTRAV.

During the Conference, a special session will be organized to discuss the Report of the ILO independent Global Commission on the Future of Work and new ways to promote decent work and social justice in the Caribbean.
