Seafood Campaigner @GLJhub @ILRF. Defending labor rights and building worker power in the global economy. ✊🏼 Focus on Thailand/Taiwan/Asia. Views are my own.

I spoke to 'Taiwan Made Simple' about #migrantworker rights and #humantrafficking in Thailand and Taiwan's fishing industries as well as @JTIP_State's Trafficking in Persons Report. Listen to the podcast here: https://t.co/XjC8lmbKxR @TaiwanDiscover #Thailand #Taiwan

"The @JTIP_State shouldn't consider ANY country to be taking steps to address trafficking until they take REAL action to PREVENT labor abuses. The focus of any response to labor abuses should be ensuring freedom of association rights for ALL workers," Allison Gill of GLJ-ILRF 2/2

[Global Labor Justice @global_labor]

GLJ-ILRF & allies in the Seafood Working Group today said @JTIP_State is giving Taiwan & Thailand a pass on their repression of workers’ rights as each’s seafood industry maintains their rankings in the 2023 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report. 1/2 https://t.co/bmJnV7eM04

Solidary with striking fishers & @ITFGlobalUnion! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

"In an unprecedented action involving 64 vessels... 2,000 crew from Senegal & Ivory Coast went on strike" for 4 days! Fishers are demanding fundamental labor rights, including fair pay. #1U https://t.co/Fjc7okDi1N

Last year Nike authorized $18 billion in stock buybacks after they slashed already-low wages for factory workers across the globe.

I introduced the Reward Work Act to ban stock buybacks, and I stand with the workers fighting for fair pay and against Nike’s wage theft.

✊Fishers NEED access to Wi-Fi at sea to protect their fundamental labor rights and speak to their families! #SEG23 #humanrights #WiFiNowForFishersRights

Thanks @APALAnational for this 🧵 helping to get the word out about the #WiFiNOWforFishersRights campaign!

[NAMA @NAMA_NET]

#Taiwan has the 2nd largest distant water fleet in the world. 10s of 1000s of migrant workers work on these boats, for months at a time, without contact to anyone on land, leaving them vulnerable to abuse & worse. It’s time for #WiFiNOWforFishersRights.

[MassCOSH @MassCOSH]

Al Vega speaking at Sunday's #WiFiNOWforFishersRights rally outside of the Convention Center, host of this year's Seafood Expo North America. It's more important than ever we stand united in global solidarity with all workers.

Global ag giant #Fyffes loves to promote recipes for its produce—that it claims is grown and harvested responsibly. But its treatment of @STAS_agricola affiliated workers in #Honduras suggests otherwise. It’s time for a new recipe. #FyffesRecipe #Melons #1u
