Solidarity Center Global Worker Rights Training
The Solidarity Center is a US-based organization partnering with workers in 60+ countries to advance labor rights through training, legal support, and capacity building. Programs focus on worker rights, union skills, workplace safety, and combating forced labor. In Bangladesh, garment workers secured 9% wage increases and safe drinking water. In Georgia, workers won over $12 million through court decisions after safety training. In Sri Lanka, 350 domestic workers joined unions and developed model employment contracts. In Mexico, independent unions secured up to 30% wage increases. Programs train workers as job safety experts and advocate for international labor standards.
