Global Workers Justice Alliance Details
Mission: The mission of the Global Workers Justice Alliance is to combat worker exploitation by promoting portable justice for transnational migrants through a cross-border network of worker advocates and resources. Global Workers coined the term portable justice to describe the right and ability of transnational migrant workers to access justice in the countries of employment even after they have departed for their home countries. The Challenge: Businesses are global. Workers are global. Justice is not. Millions of people, more than ever before, cross national borders seeking employment. These workers are uniquely vulnerable due to a lack of language skills and knowledge of local rights and resources. As a result, these global migrants are often cheated of wages, fall prey to human trafficking schemes, are injured, and suffer other serious forms of exploitation. Although they face barriers when seeking justice while in the country of employment, it is much worse if they decide to return home. The obstacles--both practical and legal--to achieving justice are nearly insurmountable from a foreign country. The result is that valid claims are routinely abandoned and thousands of workers never receive their wages or treatment for debilitating injuries. Without portable justice, these workers will continue to be used and abused within the globalized economy. Workers should not have to check their legal rights at the border. Global workers require global justice.
