Protecting trade union leaders

Description

Protecting trade union leaders involves implementing legal, physical, and organizational safeguards to prevent harassment, intimidation, dismissal, or violence against those representing workers’ interests. This strategy ensures leaders can advocate freely and effectively, remedying issues such as union-busting, discrimination, and suppression of collective bargaining. Practical actions include legal protections, rapid response mechanisms, secure communication channels, and international solidarity networks to uphold the rights and safety of trade union representatives.
