“Data transparency and strengthening trade unions are two sides of the same coin or two inseparable elements. Data transparency is important, but without organizing efforts to strengthen trade unions, achieving better working conditions is difficult and depends solely on the ‘goodwill and commitment’ of suppliers and brands”
Trade unions play a crucial role in advocating for workers’ rights and improving working conditions. One of the most effective tools that trade unions can use is data. The strategic use of data can significantly enhance the effectiveness of collective bargaining by providing evidence-based support for negotiations.
