The above six Trade Union organisations have reaffirmed their firm commitment to the principles and objectives of this MOU to cooperate and collaborate for the defence, protection and promotion of migrant workers’ rights.
However, despite modest gains made, the working and living conditions of migrant workers and members of their families remain dire and precarious. This revised and renewed MOU is a mark of dedication to continue to seek better protection for migrant workers as a vital but vulnerable constituency of workers that the trade unions should protect. Aside from the urgency to contribute to the effective protection of migrant workers, the commitment to steady this course is also inspired by a self-enlightened interest to further the relevance and revitalization of the trade union movement.
Subsequently, the parties to this MOU have therefore agreed to create better and improved spaces, opportunities and environment for the better defence, protection and promotion of the human and labour rights of migrant workers and members of their families through 10 actions:
Action 1: Ratification and implementation of International Labour Standards (ILS)
Action2: Legislation-
Action3: Empowerment of migrant workers –
Action 4: Contribute to the advancement of fair recruitment
Action 5: Advocate for improved and inclusive International Cooperation
Action 6: Promote the Decent Work Agenda
Action 7: Contribute to responsive actions to structural crises
Action 8: Effective Social Dialogue
Action 9: Championing Women Migrant Workers’ Rights
Action 10: Advocate for data collection, analysis and utilisation
