GLOBAL SOLIDARITY: MALAYSIAN WORKER DELEGATION VISITS LOS ANGELES

The LA County Fed and the Solidarity Center were honored to host a visiting delegation of labor leaders from Malaysia. 

The Solidarity Center works with trade unions and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Malaysia on labor law and policy development, supply chain engagement, union organizing, and capacity building.

A major component of the Solidarity Center program in Malaysia involves promoting efforts to enable millions of migrant workers to engage with and join unions. The Solidarity Center also works to increase unions’ capacity and accessibility to workers as they seek judicial remedies for rights violations. 

Members of the Malaysian delegation had the opportunity to share their stories with affiliates and community members present, ask questions, and strategize on ways to strengthen ties between those involved in organizing workers and the community at large.
