As a key part of AMRC’s work in the region and in support of campaigns initiated by our partners in different countries of Asia, especially when they require liaisons across borders, AMRC plays an active role in being a part of ongoing campaigns. We also support campaigns of our local, regional and global partners and friends to express our solidarity on labour and related human rights issues
Here are a list of campaigns that AMRC is and has been active in presently/ or in the recent past…
- Gina Form factory campaign, Thailand: AMRC and other NGOs helped the union of Gina Form Factory in Thailand to seek alternatives to closure of the factory. Eventually the union won a settlement with the owners, Clover Group, including outstanding bonuses and severance pay packages above legal requirements. (December 2006)
