This meeting report discussed the prospect of labour organising in Asia.

Below are posters that are available for download. 

The posters highlight the fact that women workers, although they must juggle the roles of provider, mother, wife and so many more, can also be effective leaders. As leaders in their communities, associations, or unions, they can represent and advocate for the needs and demands of other women, which are often ignored when women's voices are marginalised.

This report describes workers’ strategies of organising and collective bargaining in the informal sector in India. It discusses the organising experiences of the most marginalised workers in society – waste workers, sex workers, domestic workers, rural workers and kite making workers. These are people who were always on the margins of Indian polity and society due to their class, caste and gender.
